Worth bearing in mind that these are just the community GNOME tools
(originally written for Linux, albeit designed to be OS-neutral) that
we've tailored for Solaris, so it's only to be expected that there's
still a bit of work required to give a more Solaris-friendly experience.
As you say, they're pretty useful already though.

Cheeri,
