Cool, hopefully once that is sorted out, along with the NWAM issues - it'll make Solaris a lot more pleasant as a desktop. With that being said, it would be nice if Sun included mono + Banshee player - yes, I know, .net, boo boo, hiss, hiss, but atleast its a nice looking player compared to the under maintained Rhythmbox.
