Broken Gnome, part II
By the way, I found out Gnome was breaking because I'd set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my environment, and some incompatible, contributed software libraries got linked in first. Boom.
The thing I hadn't see was that you can start a failsafe session on the SunRay, which doesn't try to run gnome-session. Good for debugging. Sort of.
After I removed LD_LIBRARY_PATH from my environment, I had to figure out which apps wouldn't open without it. And I still get two instances of gconfd-2. Shutting down the session only kills one.
Maybe I'm not supposed to have the contributed software binaries in my PATH?
