   Can you run a graphical desktop on SPARC illumos? Here's an Xfce session running on Tribblix m31 on my T4-1.

   (Yes, I'm cheating; the display server is Xephyr running on my x86 machine. But the applications are all running on the SPARC box.)

     Going a bit retro now, Window Maker on SPARC Tribblix.

     I'm sorry, this is getting a bit ugly now. But some of you might remember this (I've tried really hard to forget, but keep having flashbacks). Sure Open Look had a level of consistency and uniformity, but I found it uniformly terrible to use. But yes, it does sort of work on SPARC Tribblix - and the virual desktop version of olwm took away some of the extreme pain.

     Xfce not enough? How about MATE running on SPARC Tribblix?
