I am sorry but I deleted the prior mail so I have no idea what version of OpenSolaris your are running. There are stable releases of OpenSolaris and Development releases. Looks like you are on 2009.06 (build 111b) per the $HOME/.dmrc issue. I would suggest moving to 134 from the dev repository which is as close as you can get to the 2010.05 stable build.

Okay managed to get the Gnome Display&  screen saver but it returns several 
error's

1. Your home directory is listed as:'/export/home/David' but it does not appear 
to exist. Do you want to log in with the / (root) directory as your home 
directory? It is unlikely anything will work unless you use a failsafe session

You need to put an entry in the /etc/auto_home so it maps the password entry to the real location.

    dave       motie:/export/home/&

Assuming your home directory is /export/home/dave

After hitting Yes it says...

2. User's $HOME/:dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session 
and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 
permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by 
other user.

After hitting Ok....

Ignore the above since I never got it fixed even after doing the recommended directory changes.

3. Could not update ICEauthority file/.ICEauthority, and

4. There is a problem with the configuration 
server(/usr/lib/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256).

Read the release notes since the above is covered in that plus other issues.

How to get this work again.

Best,
