Did you have to do anything to reactivate your user account after the Oracle takeover? Neither of my accounts (1 for each job that I work) will let me login to see that page...
We're a little off topic, but...

... I'm not sure. At work we used to use a central account. About 6 months ago (or so), we were all given individual accounts and had to activate them. I'm not sure if this was related to the Oracle takeover.

I can't get to that SunSolve web page either. With no support contract, forget it.

On a WinXP x64 host, I have not had any GNOME crashes after Solaris 10 u8 guest screen resizing since Vbox 3.1.4.

One little thing with 3.1.6: I have an auto-hide Gnome panel at the top of my JDS desktop. With 3.1.6, when I move my cursor to the very top of the screen, which usually opens the panel, the icons in the default panel at the bottom of the screen are highlighted. To get the upper panel to expand, I have to move the cursor a couple of pixels down from the top of the screen. This never happened before 3.1.6.

I have the Vbox auto-hide mini-panel also at the top of the screen, and it works normally.

Is anyone else seeing this?
