My instructions were really aimed at investigating the XkbSetNamedIndicator
problem, and the report that installing the Solaris patches made no difference
to that.  Sorry for not making that clearer.

Urk.  Looking at the backtrace, the failure is occurring in XIM

--without-xim to see if that makes a difference, or if it just fails
in a different place.
