glchess is not functional on Solaris, and from what I can see this is 
due to forkpty, missing from
Solaris land.

As gnome-games are not supported, I've logged a bug in bugzilla, as an 
interm solution I am removing
glchess from our menu's so that all users don't see the option to run 
it, very easy to add it back
in when/if this get's resolved.

Just requires a change to gnome-games.spec (svn diff below)

Cheers
