Thats why I use NetBSD's pkgsrc on my solaris box.  But seriously,
for those who don't use pkgsrc, gtk apps on solaris can be a pain.
I takes about 50 packages right now to build gEDA on solaris.

I plan on trying to make them coexist.  I have no love for Xaw
but it is lightweight in terms of the dependency list.
