Synopsis (Solaris) Alt/Meta modifier keys are incorrectly hardwired to specific mod bits
Category java:classes_awt
Reported Against 1.0fcs
Release Fixed 1.0.2

Description
On Solaris/X11:

The awt/motif code hardwires the modifier
mappings so that mod1->Meta and Mod4->Alt, when in fact this
can be different from system to system.  

i.e. on my system, the opposite is true: mod1->Alt and mod4-Meta, 
     so it appears reversed.

(you can see the mapping by running "xmodmap" in a shell)

Evaluation
[aim 2/29/96]

We need to use XGetModiferMapping() to check to see how the modifier
keysyms are mapped to the mod bits on the system and then wire-up
the event mechanism that way.
