Ok, further news from the solaris front:

1) running xftaskbar4/xfce4-panel from another computer on the solaris
display works fine, that says shows both pager and tasklist and both
are working.

2) running xftaskbar4/xfce4-panel on solaris using anothers box'
display shows the same weird behaviour as described above.

That makes me think of a problem with latest libxfcegui4, and I did
some bug tracking already, but no luck yet. Olivier/Jasper, can you
get your eyes on it please. Since netk-pager.c wasn't modified for a
long time, I suppose its something basic that broke, I thought of
netk-xutils, but I'm not very familar with that stuff (esp. not
familar with what could cause problems with solaris whereas works with
other systems).

Craig, do you tried something after rc2 so far? 

I'm not sure about this, but since rc2 worked fine, I think its not
Solaris fault, but its a xfce bug introduced after rc2.

BTW: xfwm4 works very well now (using SunPCI), good work(-around)
Olivier :-)
