Non-root user problem on Solaris

[Andreas Höschler]

Hi all,

in the meanwhile I managed to get X and dtlogin up and running on the 
consoles of a Solaris 10 SPARC and a Solaris 10 x86 machine (usually I 
work with a Sun Ray) in order to figure out whether my problem is 
anyhow Sun Ray Server Software related. It is not!!! I have exactly the 
same problem on the console. Logging in as root is no problem. When 
logging in as a non-root user I  can surprisingly successfully start 
Azalea. But as soon as I try to start any other GNUstep application I 
get

/opt/GNUstep/System/Applications/AZBackground.app/AZBackground: 
Uncaught exception WindowServerCommunication, reason: Unable to 
retrieve list of screens from window server.

This is not Azalea related. I get the same error when logging into a 
GNOME (JDS) session and then try "openapp Finder" or whatever.

So: The current GNUstep (svn) does not work on Solaris (as on-root 
user)!!!

Can anybody confirm this and/or has a clue what is going wrong here?

Thanks,

  Andreas
