I guess that's me?  Should I drink a few too many beers and demand that
any other closeted Solaris users reveal themselves? :-]

Of course, I use RPM to build open source stuff on Solaris, instead of the
native packaging tools... I *hate* the stupid /opt thing, and install in
/usr/local/* instead.  I suppose if there were more than one person
interested in a Solaris build I could create a relocatable package and
offer that.

Oh!  And remember I'd reported a strange crash a while back that I just 
couldn't figure out?  I deleted my .xconq/prefs.xcq and haven't had a 
problem since.  Hmmm.

Here's the bogus one:

((default-myname "John Doe") (default-joinport "3075") (default-joinhost 
"localhost") (checkpoint-interval 10) (default-font-size 10) 
(default-font-family "helvetica") (default-draw-transitions 1) 
(default-draw-terrain-patterns 0) (default-draw-terrain-images 1) 
(default-draw-ai 0) (default-meridian-interval 600) 
(default-draw-meridians 0) (default-draw-feature-boundaries 0) 
(default-draw-feature-names 0) (default-draw-unit-names 0) 
(default-draw-clouds 0) (default-draw-winds 0) (default-draw-temperature 
0) (default-draw-control 0) (default-draw-people 0) (default-draw-lighting 
0) (default-draw-elevations 0) (default-draw-coverage 1) 
(default-draw-grid 1) (default-power 5))

For whatever reason, using xconq with those prefs will cause it to crash 
after 11 turns or so.  "Doctor, it hurts when I go like THIS!"  Yeah, so I 
deleted that and things run great.

I look forward to doing another CVS snapshot build when things settle out
a bit.  If another Solaris user chimes in with an interest in a pre-built
package once the eagerly anticipated 7.5.0 release is ready, I volunteer
to maintain it.
