Sorry to drift off Sparc specific but ...
  Do you have RTFM URLs I could read on this ?  On my i386:
	- My /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/common is empty
	- ls -la ../lib/common has
		ximcp.so.2	xlcDef.so.2	xlcUTF8Load.so.2 
		xlibi18n.so.2	xlocale.so.2	xomGeneric.so.2
	- When I use EXMH to reply to umlauted mail, they get mangled.
  PS my personal efforts to deal with horrible umlauts include:
