getting X forwarding seems to work fine in a non-global zone, but is there a recipe that works to get gdm (or equivalent) working ... in a simple manner enabling vncviewer to a desktop in the non-global zone?

it seems firstly that dbus has a problem (/lib/svc/method/svc-dbus) explicitly disallowing startup in a non global zone 
(https://www.illumos.org/issues/1249)

<pre>
if smf_is_nonglobalzone; then
	   /usr/sbin/svcadm disable -t svc:/system/dbus
        echo "dbus-daemon cannot be run in non-global zones"
	   sleep 5 &
	   exit $SMF_EXIT_OK
fi
</pre>

getting over this, then if the other dependencies of gdm are started, fine (gdm still doesn't work) 
BTW don't reboot without setting autoboot=false for the zone or the GLOBAL zone will hang bugging out.

Any hints, please...
