Hello David,

you mentioned you compiled wmii successfully on Solaris.
Could it be, that Solaris 10 does not have Xutf8* functions?
That's the only thing LD is missing right now and I can't find the libs
to link it against.
Do I have to patch all the UTF-8 functions (like
Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList to XmbTextPropertyToTextList) or what did
you do?
