No, I just have a big mailbox with a lot of problems that people have
reported and that are not yet solved.

Make sure that your distribution does not depend on non standard
libraries (mainly xforms and xpm). If they do, indicate how to get
them. The best solution may be to link statically against xforms, but
I do not know how to do that on solaris.

Something you could do is test the patches against xforms 1.0 proposed
by Angus leeming here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-devel&m=103971974818266&w=2

There are two patches, one small and one big, both aiming to fix the
compose key processing problems seen by people on solaris. I would be
interested to know whether they work.

As I said this test and the associated code comes from GNU gettext
(the code in intl/ is not ours).
