Very odd.  I compile on Solaris 2.6 but run myself on Solaris 8_alpha.  I get 
the window popping up OK, but for the last 2 attempts to build GNOME (current 
and 1.04 CORE) the window pops up and just sits there with just a flashing 
cursor - no prompt.  Everything else seems fine.

This is a shame, coz it worked fine afer we got the deamon problems fixed just 
in time for the initial 1.0 release =O(

Could this crash be down to a similar problem with grabbing the pty's that's 
been recently introduced?

Ta,
