I haven't used solaris in years, so I can only guess what may be the
root of this problem. From what I can tell by the source code I would
start looking at the different settings of DISPLAY for the different
users. I would expect these to be different. This does not explain why
the different, but probably sensible values, make such a big difference
for GNUstep.
