We checked that already. The values reach from :0.0 to :4:0, obviously 
depending on the number of session (Sun Ray). I first thaught having 
multiple session would cause the problem (GNUstep not being able to 
handle that would be a disaster), but we were able to have two parallel 
sessions with two different accounts. I also modified the DISPLAY 
variable for a user that does not work, though I know think that this 
makes no sense. Solaris seems to set a specific value for each Sun Ray 
session. Anyway, this didn't solve the problem. We still get

for many (also for newly created) users. Any more ideas what to look 
for? We will dig into the gui code some more on monday, but if anybody 
has a clue...

Thanks,
