I have. And yeah, the lag beteen current GNOME documentation and the packages in Solaris is frustrating. I've contemplated trying to build a modern GNOME for our system, but haven't gotten around to it. I believe that the graphical tools for editing GNOME settings aren't present on Solaris anyway, even if you could log in as root. (Does Nautilus really work for this...?) (By the way, VNC can be a nice workaround for the times when you don't have a graphical head on your server. Not exactly a Sun Ray but it's close enough for some purposes, like GNOME tweaking. Available from blastwave and elsewhere.) Back to your actual question... What are you trying to do? There are docs at the Sun^WOracle web site that cover the GNOME in Solaris, though they aren't especially deep or extensive... Trying to find the docs I used, I just came across this: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/806-6878/6jfpqt2tg?a=view This one is a little out of date even for Solaris but it helped me get started: http://intranet.math.purdue.edu/infotech/2007/10/25/customizing-the-gnome-menus-with-gnome-20-in-solaris-9/ Briefly, you'll want to look at the file structure under /usr/share/applications, and depending on what you're trying to accomplish you might also want to read up on gconftool-2 (there's a man page which is pretty good, not sure about other resources). I haven't used a GUI tool for this at all. _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
