First thing you need to do is build libxklavier.  Unfortunately there
is no spec-file for it in SFE.  Would be handy if someone created one
to help people build this.  If you are complaining about a compile
issue, I'm guessing this might be where you are having problems?

We used to build libxklavier into the SUWNgnome-panel package on Solaris
10, but removed it in Nevada because it doesn't work well when the
server and client aren't using the same Xserver, and became a
high-support call issue.  I'm attaching the old Solaris 10 spec-file.
We also used to apply a patch.  This spec file builds the old 1.0.2
version, and now the 3.6 version seems to be released.  However, someone
might be able to update the spec-file so it works and builds the latest
code.  Note this spec-file is in the old Solaris 10 spec-file format and
would require some work to make it work with our latest CDE tools.
Would be good to write a new top-level spec-file for it rather than
including it in SUNWgnome-panel like we did on Solaris 10.  At any
rate, this might be a starting point.  Perhaps the patch will help
if they haven't fixed that issue in the new version.

Then you should use the CBE to rebuild SUNWgnome-applets and
SUNWgnome-desktop-prefs, but modify the gnome-applets and
control-center spec-files to avoid using the --disable-gwitchit
option when calling configure.

Might be nicer if we modified the spec files so that you could
build with gswitchit if you add a pkgtool option.
