I suspect that this is more to do with JDS than anything else. Lot of desktop related changes, integration of new UIs continuously happening. (shift to gnome 2.2 is recent) When people talk about the solaris stability, it is the often underlying kernel/stack that is often being referred to. I have experienced the desktop unresponsiveness situation now & then. During resource intensive builds, I use light & plain WMs like fluxbox. I do not prefer using KDE or GNOME or even xfce during heavy build acitivity. -Shiv
