Gnome session fails to start on OpenIndiana

After upgrading from OpenSolaris to OpenIndiana GNOME fails on start. Cleaning up and recreating profiles had no effect. Running with --debug option has not helped to recognize the problem

Search by gnome debug traces led to this page which gave a hint - possible problems with mixer_app. Indeed

ps xau | grep mixer

has shown number of /usr/lib/mixer_app processes running.

There were no instructions on the surface on proper way of disabling this mixer panel. So I just did

chmod a-x /usr/lib/mixer_applet2

GNOME has complained first time and suggested to remove the panel.
