  Sparc Solaris 9:

  I have tried using Gnome-2.14 from unstable.

  As noted it takes a long time for the desktop
to load.

  However, I have also noted instability with
many of the applications (eg: yelp does not run),
however, perhaps the most important from my point of 
view currently is gedit which now does not load. Typing 
gedit from a terminal window gives the following:
(NB: it did start once but crashed when I was trying
to implement - from the gedit menu - line numbers for a 
loaded file and no longer restarts; see below). Trying
to implement gedit from the applications menu gives 
the message gedit unexpectedly quit ...

(i) gedit (from a terminal window)

 ld.so.1: gedit: fatal: libgnomevfs-2.so.0: open failed: 
 No such file or directory

(A) ldd /opt/csw/bin/gedit 
.
libgnomevfs-2.so.0 =>    /opt/csw/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0
.
The only apparent missing message from the extensive 
list of library calls was

libz.so.1 (SUNW_1.1) =>  (version not found) 

is that important?

(B) ls -lrt /opt/csw/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0
    lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         25 Sep 30 19:04
    /opt/csw/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0 -> libgnomevfs-2.so.0.1400.2*


    ls -lrt libgnomevfs-2.so.0.1400.2 
    -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin       590460 Sep 28 02:59 
     libgnomevfs-2.so.0.1400.2*

  Has anyone else noticed this, is it my system, is
necessary to wait a little longer for some more updates?

  Any comments very gratefully received, 
  Thanks, Jonathan
