I am having the same problem after upgrading from Sun's Gnome 2.0 to  
CSW Gnome 2.8. I can login with root but not user. If I commented out  
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, Gnome works. But that is unreasonable because many  
things are not working without LD_LIBRARY_PATH and a nuisance every  
each time I switch from KDE to Gnome or vice versa.

Also, I discovered that after root login with KDE, the "Other's"  
write access privilege of /tmp/.ICE-unix will be turned off. Thus,  
preventing users to login with KDE. Granting the "Other's" write  
access to /tmp/.ICE-unix, users can login with KDE again. Is this a bug?

My machine is Sun Blade 150, Solaris 9.
