Solaris and Linux GNOME Desktop
Incompatibility
In Red Hat Linux 9, you cannot use the Solaris and Linux GNOME desktops at the same time if you created Linux user accounts which mount Solaris home directories at log in. Linux user accounts created with local home directories will not experiences this problem.
If you attempt to run the GNOME desktop for both operating systems at the same time, either operating system might not work properly because the format of the GNOME preference files are not compatible across both platforms. Changes made by one system may corrupt the preferences for the other. Removing the .gconf directory and its contents from the user’s home directory restores GNOME to its defaults if the files are corrupted.
To avoid this issue, if you are using the GNOME Linux desktop with SunPCi, use the Solaris CDE (Common Desktop Environment).
This is a known issue with GNOME.
