Problem with Solaris

[Brian Genisio]

Take a look at your .xsession-errors file on the solaris machine AFTER your
loging fails.  There is probably something wrong with your .xinitrc or
.xsession files.  Possibly go downt to minimal files there, and try again?  But
the .xsession-errors very often will give you a hint in that case.
