The problem with /usr/dt is a bit different (we had a thread on
this
subject regarding the Motif libs). Appart from the fact that the name is
stupid, it's a problem of a particular package (CDE) providing it's own
version of a lib that can sometimes be found somewhere else.
I feel it's similar, but I have extremely limited experience with
XEmacs on Solaris. It sounds like you've summarized it.
