No, you're correct that with -D RHA should be disabled.
It sounds to me like something is going wrong in the GDM Init hook, 
since you see the X server spawning and dying but never see the actual 
greeter draw the screen.
I'd add some code to the top of 
/opt/SUNWut/lib/prototype/Xsetup.SUNWut.prototype to capture any error 
output, like this:
exec 2>/tmp/Xsetup.out
set -x

You could do something similar to /opt/SUNWut/lib/utxsun which is the 
wrapper that spawns the X server in case the X server itself is 
encountering errors during startup.
