Ah ha! Yes, that fixed it! Again, this worked as I expected in snv_98, and all older Solaris releases. It also works in Fedora and Ubuntu, although I'm sure that's because they're all using the same version of Gnome. Although you have to ask, after 15 years of working one way, is it really appropriate to "fix" this bug and break people like me? Anyway, thanks!
