Outdated List of Allowed Applications for Solaris OS (6267922)

In the Solaris software, you restrict application launching by setting to true the /desktop/gnome/lockdown/restrict_application_launching gonf key. This setting allows only certain applications to appear on the Launch menu where you can start these applications. The allowed applications are listed in the /desktop/gnome/lockdown/allowed_applications gonf key.

Currently, the list includes applications that are outdated and are no longer included in the Java Desktop System software. Moreover, the list also contains references to certain applications with incorrect directory locations. Consequently, if you restrict application launching, certain key applications such as Mozilla or StarOffice do not appear on the Launch menu.

Workaround: Perform the following steps.

1. Become superuser.

2. Remove the ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/lockdown directory if the directory exists.

   # rm -rf ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/lockdown

3. Log out of the system and then log in again.
