VERSION: This applies to Exceed version 8.0+

PROBLEM:

After getting the Java Desktop System in Solaris 10, you are unable to enter text in terminal windows. There is no problem with Solaris 10 and the Common Desktop Environment (CDE).

SOLUTION:

Here are the instructions to work around this issue:

1. On the Solaris 10 system, "touch" the following file:

   /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/%gconf.xml

2. Edit the file with:

   </?xml version="1.0"?>
   <gconf>
   <entry name="volume_up" mtime="1110896708" type="string">
   <stringvalue></stringvalue>
   </entry>
   <entry name="volume_mute" mtime="1110896705" type="string">
   <stringvalue></stringvalue>
   </entry>
   <entry name="volume_down" mtime="1110896702" type="string">
   <stringvalue></stringvalue>
   </entry>
   <entry name="help" mtime="1110896698" type="string">
   <stringvalue></stringvalue>
   </entry>
   <</gconf>
