Not true. This functionality depends on libxklavier, which uses private
Xserver interfaces that tend to work only with the Xorg Xserver. Since
Solaris runs on Sparc with the Xsun Xserver, you can have serious
problems if you do things like run Xclient programs remotely or via
XDMCP.

Users who like this feature could consider rebuilding a few packages,
removing the patches and configure options we apply to turn off building
this code. If there were enough demand, perhaps we could provide
the binaries in a separate package somewhere.
