Problem  

Bug ID 4765131, affects the following locales: 

• en_GB.ISO8859-15

• en_IE.ISO8859-15

• en_US.ISO8859-15

The GNOME Desktop menu item is missing from the login screen. The GNOME Xresource files for these locales were omitted from /usr/dt/config.

Solution  

You can deploy a system-wide workaround in regions where the affected locales are used. 

Perform the following steps: 

1. Log in to the GNOME Desktop in the C locale.

2. Log in as root in a Terminal window.

3. Change directory as follows:

   cd /usr/dt/config/

4. Run one or more of the following commands, depending on your locales:

   • ln -s C/Xresources.d/Xresources.Sun-gnome-2.0-s9u4s-2_0_2-08 en_GB.ISO8859-15/Xresources.d/Xresources.Sun-gnome-2.0-s9u4s-2_0_2-08

   • ln -s C/Xresources.d/Xresources.Sun-gnome-2.0-s9u4s-2_0_2-08 en_IE.ISO8859-15/Xresources.d/Xresources.Sun-gnome-2.0-s9u4s-2_0_2-08

   • ln -s C/Xresources.d/Xresources.Sun-gnome-2.0-s9u4s-2_0_2-08 en_US.ISO8859-15/Xresources.d/Xresources.Sun-gnome-2.0-s9u4s-2_0_2-08

5. Log out.

The GNOME Desktop option should now be available in the login screen, for both of the affected locales. 

This problem will be fixed in the Update 5 release of the Solaris 9 operating environment.
