           Summary: startxfce4 doesn't work on Solaris
           Product: Xfce
           Version: 4.6.1
          Platform: PC (x86_64)
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: xfce-utils
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: peter.tribble at gmail.com


The startxfce4 script doesn't start XFCE at all on Solaris.

The problem is that the Solaris /bin/sh is really primitive, and can't cope
with the xinitrc file in 4.6.1.

Simplest fix is to replace

  prog=/bin/sh

with

  prog=/bin/bash

in startxfce4, which means that the xinitrc file will be run by an adequately
capable shell.
