>Description:
	Xorg does not support locales on FreeBSD/sparc64. Clipboard paste
does not work in xterm. No way to type national symbols in xterm.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Run xterm and try copy and paste. Try to type national symbols from
keyboard. Use truss(1) for trace open(2) system calls and determine needed
shared libraries.

$ xterm
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
Failed to open input method

>Fix:

	Here is workaround. Go to lib/X11/locale/common and make symbolic link
to existing directory with shared libraries:

# cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/common
# ln -s ../lib/common sparcv9
