FYI, I have added the following lines to /etc/system on all Solaris machines that I use: # increase shared memory limits (for GTK+ applications) set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax = 0x2000000 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni = 0x1000 set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg = 0x100 By default, Solaris has a limit of 6 shm segments per process, 100 in total, and allows a maximum segment size of 1 MB. You can check the current values by running the command /usr/sbin/sysdef. By increasing all of these parameters, I am sure that I can use many GTK+ applications without warnings. -Raphael
