They will be porting JDS to Solaris. Really, it makes sense- there is no reason for them to support multiple desktop code bases (JDS and 'stock' GNOME 2.0) especially when porting most of it will be a fairly trivial job. So, port, offer the same UI everywhere, and if the customer wants it on solaris, great, and if a customer doesn't want it on solaris, they'll still offer it on Linux, I'm sure. [If they don't, Redhat and Novell will eat them for lunch. ;)
