None of the boxes is checked, but there's a long list of applications in allowed_applications. Can I just put * in the list? The list includes /usr/bin/xscreensaver-demo. There's no /usr/X11/bin commands in the list at all. The same is true on the account where Lock Screen shows up in the menu. Where does this list come from? I can't find it in any of the dot files in my home directory. I guess it must be coming from some system location. Even though I don't think it's being used here (because restrict_application_launching isn't set), the list is still wrong. > 2.

No, but /usr/openwin/bin is (historical artifact) and /usr/openwin is a symlink to /usr/X11. Ok, after a bunch of trial and error, I figured out the problem. I was only adding /usr/openwin/bin to my PATH if $GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID was set. Otherwise, I assumed I wasn't logging in in a window environment. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be set when the login process first runs my .profile, even though it *is* set when I start gnome-terminal. Thanks for the hint that pointed me in the right direction! _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
