Great addition to OpenIndiana Development !

DBUS is disabled in non-global zones by the following lines in the
svc:/system/dbus:default start file /var/svc/manifest/system:

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

If you comment these lines out and enable dbus you may be able to run
GNOME.  I have been able to start the tigervnc server and run XFCE in
a non-global zone on oi151a7 but have not tried GNOME.

I do not know what problems may arise with DBUS.  I hope someone with
better knowledge of DBUS and zones will respond to this message.
