James, I think we talking too much on this "compatibility" issue instead of start doing something.
In regards to Nexenta OS: any compatibility issue with major components (i.e. Xorg, GNOME, KDE, JRE etc) *MUST* be considered as a bug. So, please enter new bug record at http://www.gnusolaris.org/gswiki/Bugs Thank you.
