In the FAQ?  Somewhat, yeah.

Are you running Nautilus?  If so, don't.  It's a great program and all,
but it was NOT written on/for Solaris, and doesn't run worth shit there,
yet.  I understand the GNOME 2 version is better on Solaris (not to
mention being FAST).  Unfortunately, it's just in beta right now.

Well, it should, except that I'm surprised it even starts on that
machine.  :-(  The folks who did most of the hacking on Nautilus are
nice and all, but they were being paid to make it work on Linux, and not
anywhere else.
