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.
