At present dtlogin is the default login process, but you can change to
using GDM2 if you
so desire, just disable the rc*/*dtlogin scripts and enable the GDM2
service (under SMF).
There are a couple of reasons for not using GDM2 by default in Sol10,
but these should hopefully
be resolved in the near future and the plan is to switch to using GDM2
by default, which
I think is what will happen in OpenSolaris from the start. Brian Cameron
is the maintainer of
GDM2, so he might be able to clarify that further.
(I have to admit I am unaware of the plans to opensource the CDE code,
if any).
Thanks,
Darren.

I'm not sure what you mean by Solaris / CDE in this context?
To reiterate what we are planning and to try clarify things (I hope) :
JDS, as a desktop platform, is essentially GNOME, in that we take GNOME
packages
and apply patches (which include bug fixes, some features and branding)
- but in it's
full meaning it also includes StarOffice and Mozilla and other such
apps, to provide a
more complete desktop solution.
If I look at Sun Solaris, I see that the login screen used by Sun
is the CDE login screen and that a lot of programs are located under
/usr/dt/*
If JDS is build in a way that depends on CDE, then it cannot be used
on OpenSolaris as CDE is not freely available/distributable.
