XKeysymDB file

[Ken Sibley]

This is a message I posted a few weeks ago.  Please forgive all of the 
header info, but I had to pull it out of a saved list.  I think the 
information still applys to what you are asking.  If this is not enough
info then you should check the grassu archives as this topics has been
tossed around a lot during the months of Jan/Feb 94.

This is similar to our experiance.  The messages that I posted about two 
weeks ago were for the binaries (of xdigit) that we downloaded from CERL.
We have since recompiled xdigit, with update 3 installed, and the XKeysymDB
warnings came back.  Using the strings command that I posted the note about
before showed two things:
%s/lib/XKeysymDB
/usr/openwin/lib/XKeysymDB

I then appended the motif XKeysymDB file to the /usr/openwin/lib/XKeysymDB
file and the warnings went away.  I did not have time to find where the
%s/lib/XKeysymDB message came from; more pressing things popped up.
