It sounds like the Crux theme is broken on Solaris--perhaps a
regression of the problem fixed in source-reviewers [10889].
A consultant reported:
another user just came in with the "windows closing on suns"
problem. it's not just evolution and mozilla - terminals close
randomly, and his toolbar also crashes. running athrun release
fixpanel doesn't fix it. similarly to the other user, he doesn't
have anything interesting in the "usual suspect" dotfiles. i've
copied them over to readable, as well as all his .g* directories.
This is the first I can remember hearing of a "windows closing on
suns" problem, but it sounded like a theme problem to me. I examined
the user's .gconf directory under /mit/readable with:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml::/path/to/.gconf -R /
and found:
/desktop/gnome/interface:
icon_theme = Crux
gtk_theme = Crux
I suggested reverting those settings with:
gconftool-2 -u /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme
gconftool-2 -u /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme
According to the consultant, this resolved the problem on a test
account.
