On our SunRays, we've run an "Atkins-gnome" script to turn off solid window drag and other effects ... and we've had to be over zealous in the firefox and thunderbird auto-config to stop them writing to and from the disk constantly ... most of our guys run Gnome nowadays, but some of our old timer

I have not had issues with gnome on sunrays (and even KDE on a sunray 2) so I can only assume these will be fine. Much of the fancy features of any X windows system disappear under Xnewt anyway. I notice no rendering problems with Gnome so I never bothered changing my current setup. I run a

Jonathan, There are lightweight alternatives to Gnome available with a bit of work. KDE is pretty close to Gnome in terms of weight. I had used XFCE happily for awhile. It is lightweight and snappy and didn't bring my laptop to it's knees. It also has a CDE-like look and feel. http://hub.
