I did a search on XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback and found a couple
bugs, both of which were marked as fixed in, or prior to, Solaris 10.
FWIW, both bugs were apparently tickled by not having the XIM server up
and running. (I don't know much about XIM--one of the bugs listed
htt_xbe, htt_server, and atok8 as likely XIM servers.)

The only compelling reason I can think of to do that would be if
somebody were regularly looking for issues that are appearing on a
particular platform. Given my current time constraints, I'm not likely
to check here regularly for Solaris issues. Though I won't object if
someone adds me to the Nosy list for issues that could be
Solaris-specific (on any hardware).

Yeah, I don't have a good suggestion for that. Sun's internal database
has a separate State to distinguish totally new bugs from ones where the
category and priority have been sanity-checked. I tend to think that's
more complexity than we need for XEmacs.
cheers,
