Ryan:

Can someone help me with this issue.  I'm trying to create a very slim gnome 
desktop environment.  I tried working from the bottom up, by using this image 
(http://blogs.sun.com/jkshah/entry/minimal_opensolaris_2009_06_appliance), but am 
having a problem with gnome 
(http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=119559&tstart=0) that no one 
seems to be able to help me with.  So I'm trying the opposite direction.

If GNOME is failing after authentication, then the problem is usually
with gnome-session, or with a program started by gnome-session.

The suggestion to start gnome-session by starting a failsafe session
and then run "dbus-launch gnome-session" is a good one.  If there are
errors, they will get echoed back to the terminal so you can more
easily see them.  Also you will have an xterm window open to probe the
system when it fails to see what might be going on.  What processes
are running in the user session when the failure happens?

You can run gnome-session with the --debug argument to get it to spew
extra information, which might be helpful.

This message is unrelated, and I see it on my machine also.  It
indicates that your display graphics card doesn't support some
features that OpenSolaris otherwise would use.

The following error message is related to accessibility:

> No value set for `/desktop/gnome/applications/at/visual/exec'

There might be a problem with the a11y infastructure.  If you
removed any core a11y base libraries or SUNWgnome-desktop-prefs
this might cause the sorts of behavior you describe.
