I just installed Solaris10 and JDS3 on my standalone SPARC machine. I see that two new directories are created, ${HOME}/Desktop/ and ${HOME}/Documents/. I want to change these defaults to hidden directories, ${HOME}/.Desktop/ and ${HOME}/.Documents/, but I cannot find the configuration file under ${HOME} or any other root-accessible directory to change these defaults?

AFAIK there's currently no way to configure these... and if you just try to delete or rename them, they'll be recreated the next time you log in. I'm afraid you'll probably just have to live with them until we (and/or the GNOME community) address this in a future release.

I also cannot seem to get rid of some small "language" windows that come up, e.g., with lines like [English/European]. Are these part of xterm windows?

These are part of the input method framework, to show you which input method is active for the current window. IIRC, they will disappear if you add the input method switcher applet to your panel, or you log in using the C locale. On Linux, as a last resort you can also just uninstall the GNOME input method packages, not sure off-hand which package(s) these correspond to on Solaris though.
