And if you happen to have something in /zone/${localzone}/root/home/${username}/Desktop, then it won't be displayed on the desktop either.
I didn't find anything in the local zone's /var/log/Xorg.0.log about this. It seems like I'm missing some setting or other that should be obvious, like "enable multi-level desktop". You can however get a window by doing a "zlogin -l username zonename DISPLAY=${myhostname}:0.0 /usr/openwin/bin/xterm", or whatever command you need, as long as you allow xhost connections from the zone you're using. This could be a temporary workaround if you need to execute something with a GUI from a certain labeled zone. This message posted from opensolaris.org
