The official word on this is:

SRDB ID: 19452

SYNOPSIS: Hotjava keeps coming up with CDE login

DETAIL DESCRIPTION:

Every time I login to CDE a HotJava window comes up.  I set my home session 
without it and it still comes up. It doesn't happen to root

SOLUTION SUMMARY:

There is a script /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/1000.solregis that tries to force 
the user to register.

To disable for one user::

    touch ${HOME}/.solregis/disable

There are two easy ways to globally disable registration: 
 
*   Just pkgrm SUNWsregu.  (An installation could set up jumpstart to leave 
    this package out.)
*   Create a file called /etc/default/solregis, containing the one line::

        DISABLE=1
