First of all, thanks to:
Jagtar Ghuman
Girguis, Ashraf
Jim DeSpain
Mccormick, Josh C

for letting me know they are out of the office. Weather was great, I wish
I could've been out of the office as well.

Also thanks to Anderson Baptist for using a brain-dead antispam measure
that requires three-way confirmation that I'm not sending a spam, and
would've required me to copy and paste a three-lines long URL to confirm.

This is a non-summary. I have not received any replies from this list.
However, my friendly Sun rep confirmed that this is a known issue, and
they are trying to see what could be done. He also noted that the problem
really is a Gnome one, and the same behavior could be seen between
different versions of Gnome.

Subject: Gnome2 on Solaris 9 & Red Hat

We run a number of desktop machines running Solaris 9 and Red Hat 9. Red
Hat 9 uses GNOME2 by default, and we're considering installing GNOME2 on
Solaris 9 (it is my understanding that Solaris 9 8/03 comes with GNOME2 by
default).

However - we have NFS shared home directories, and configuration files
seem to collide: a user who has used Red Hat 9 before get an empty Solaris
9 GNOME desktop, and the reverse is true.

Is there an easy solution ? We don't care that the two desktops not be
integrated and preferences not be carried from one OS to the other.
