tufty goes to the ice cream van or xterm on solaris 11

sometimes you like sparse servers.

all the gdm stuff that oracle solaris 11 installs in solaris-desktop can be particularly annoying.  so, there's a special package list called:

solaris-large-server

however.  sometimes you need things like xterm.  yes.  well, issuing:

pkg install xterm

won't do it.  you need more!

xauth - required to allow ssh to set up X11 forwarding with authentication.  you want this.
x11/diagnostic/x11-info-clients - required for software that executes xdpyinfo
library/motif - required for software that has a motif gui (all software).
terminal/xterm - required for xterm client (nuff said).
