[OpenIndiana-discuss] Install 151a8, upgrade to 151a9, and gnome system tools (top panel System -> Admin menu) dump core.

[Hans J. Albertsson]

With a lot in common with the below complaint, I decided to try a std 
OI151a9 install on my newly acquired N54L microserver:

This isn't ever going to be used for daily GUI logins, but it was there 
and clean and pristine and fresh, so:

I installed from the 151a8 desktop DVD ISO
I logged in as the user you set up during install.

I did a pkg update as root, and then booted and logged in.

I installed gvfs, and checked gnome-vfs is installed, and that rad was 
running as well as all the desktop related cache services.
I had already updated the loaders cache.

I also ran the crle {,-64} -c /var/ld{,/64} -l .... commands, rebooted 
and logged in again.

None of the System -> Administration tools work!

If clicking on them as the normal user, a window appears with a panel 
that requests the root password, and on giving the password, the tool 
window remains greyed over and when taking the cursor inside the tool 
window the cursor becomes the "waiting clockface". For ever.

Starting the tool as root from a tty window, such as "su; users-admin", 
the tool runs for a bit and then dumps core on SIGSEGV.

User land tools seem to run OK.
