Hi everyone,
I've just installed Solaris10 x86 and Java Desktop System, Release 3 (with 
comes with Sol10 x86 by default)
But sometimes when I login using gdm, there are errors:
"There was a problem registering the panel with the bonono activation 
server. The error code is: 3. The panel will now exit."
And Nautilus said: "Nautilus can't be used now, due to unexpected error from 
Bonono when attempting to register the file manager view server"
Then the screen is freezing, and I can't do anything.
Does anyone know about these problems?
Any help will be appreciated!

The problem is due to Solaris not cleaning up temp files in /var/tmp on
shutdown, and then having conflicts with the same files on the next
boot.

I did the following, and since have had no problems:
Always shut my PC down with 'init 6' (or equivalent - not 'shutdown').
Put in ~/.dtprofile
export TMPDIR=/tmp

Boot to single user, clean out /var/tmp, and all should be well.

A bientot

That's not really a Solaris problem; files in /var/tmp are *supposed to*
stick around until the *application* or user cleans them up.

consider 'vi -r'

Files in /var/tmp are not supposed to be cleaned up.  (Think about editor
temporaries which need to be recovered)

The onus is on the applications to clean up /var/tmp when the system
restarts.
