Yes, you were right.  Offending theme has been whacked and all works well.  
Thanks for the help.

When you see a (core dumped) which means a core file which is essential an image of the running program saved to disk at the point of the program error. pstack is the program on solaris that can read a core file. The rest should really be left to the maintainer of the program :)
In your case,

08066bc3 read_themes (89320e0, 8946388, fec003c0, 8946770) + 3af


it is quick easy to guess it is theme related by that line above.
You can also report bug about the desktop in defect.opensolaris.org under development/gnome.
