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.

I had a similar experiance when I downloaded the binaries. I never did figure
out why it happened and several from this list offered suggestion of which
none worked. For other reasons I downloaded the source and did a complete
rebuild including XGRASS. The problem went away. This suggestes that the
keysym table is compiled into the code. I was not under the impression that
this was the case, I thought the it was dynamically loaded at runtime. I
never persued it further since my purposes were satisfied.

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.
