Thanks to kuba <jekvb@gmx.net>, who suggested something might be wrong with the
system's IP configuration. I ran a sys-unconfig and re-entered all the network
details. This resolved the CDE messaging issue, as well as the calendar manager
issue.
(Thanks also to Andrew Gabriel, who responded to my post in comp.unix.solaris.)
In the process of flailing around, I also discovered the /etc/inet/ipnodes file
and the reference to it in /etc/nsswitch.conf. Not sure if this is new to
Solaris 10. Nevertheless, adding the hostnames/addresses of the rest of my
internal network hosts resolved some other funny name-resolution behavior I had
been seeing as well, as name resolution of internal net hosts was being sent out
the my ISP's DNS servers instead of being looked up in the local hosts table.
