As stated above in the title "How do I establish a remote CDE or JDS session on Solaris 10?"

What I would like to do is be able to login to and use the machine remotely using either the CDE or JDS, preferably with out having to use a VNC, and be able to use the pretty GUI, instead of exclusively therough the CLI. I know that this can be done because I have many books on UNIX and they all say how cool X is and that you can do exactly what I am trying to do with it, except none of them explain HOW it can be done [LOL!]. I understand this could be because of all of the delicious flavors of UNIX.

Here's some info about the setup:
The machine is an AMD64 i86 running the most current version of Solaris 10 i86, pretty much out of the box-No big changes to the X system.
The X system being used is the sunX system.
The machine is NOT headless and dtterm is running since the console has the pretty solaris login window.

X and X tunneling is worrking properly because I can run X applications such as xclock, xman, and xlogo on the remote machine to the remote client. However, when performing a search in xman, as soon as a letter is pressed, it exits and the following is displayed in the window:

X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 102 (X_ChangeKeyboardControl)
Serial number of failed request: 502
Current serial number in output stream: 508

Not a major concern to me since I do not intend to use xman, but if the information helps find the problem, then the bytes are not wasted.

I am using the Apple X11 system on MacOS X 10.4.8 on the client machine, and using ssh -X user@host /usr/dt/bin/Xsession

I thought I knew how to do this, and I was excited to see it work-somewhat...
After entering the password for the account, the pretty screen that says "Starting Common Desktop Environment" appears in fullscreen with the little sun micro badge in the top left, except its brown and not blue, and a weird blue-green rectangle hovers above the sun badge. It sits there for a while... the screen doesnt change, and then it exits and dissapears.

I tried restarting the system, as it holds nothing important and belongs to me personally so i can do as iwish with it. Same thing.

I decided to try something different since I know that X is working. Rather than run Xsession in the fassion above, i tried running it with start-gnome.
This sorta worked...it starts, and the toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen, but there is no desktop and a blank error dialog appears. Also pressing the orange Launch button does nothing.

I've checked the Xerrors log, but nothing obvious was in there. Actually, there were no errors generated at the time I was doing all of this at all!

So-if anyone can help me out with this it woulod be greatly appreciated. Im sure its probably something simple such as a configuration script that needs some modification.

Also, if you can play nicely, if you wish to login to the machine and see for yourself whats going on, here is a login account and ip address for the machine:

host address: 72.193.221.139
username: fvallejo
password: 409elm

Normally this would be a huge security hole right here, but the machine is not important and the network it is on holds nothing important. ALSO, the ip address it is sitting on will change soon so if it quits working, let me know and i will repost the address.

I am not afraid to blow away the configuration. I ask that if you login to the system, please do not do anything harmful. Only test out the X stuff.
If the system becomes a zombie, ill unplug it and reinstall solaris immediately, and buy more books.

Thanks!
