it looks like xkb-based localization never worked neither in 1.4.2
 nor with motif toolkit in 1.5.0b29. Installing Gnome+xkb on Solaris, we
 get (in XAWT) Arabic right-to-left output instead of Russian which is only 
 slightly better than nothing. To fix, we need to map most keysyms>256
 to correct Unicode characters. It may be not altogether easy, so I suggest
 commiting the fix to dragonfly.

To map keysym to unicode characters we can use XwcLookupString. It returns
string consisting of characters, in a simple case it will be exactly one character of
input we need. 

How we can't get AWT key code so easily. The question is - do we need to get it? If I press
russian letter 'A' which AWT key code should I get in KEY_PRESSED?
We probably can perform complex lookup since the map AWT keycode <-> X11 key sym 
is only for Latin-1 character+some additional characters. We can probably ask for keyboard 
mapping for different mapping planes, find one which contains keysym for the current 
keycode which maps into AWT key code and return that AWT key code.

I investigated XKB and found no way to get first Latin-1 plane of the keyboard if the input is currently
on another plane(group <-> plane). It seems like, since XKB limits group count to 4, Gnome decides to 
not use XKB groups but rather reinstall 1st group with different maps when switch happens. In my 
configuration, there is always only one group and it is the current group. So, for non-Latin-1 groups,
we will always get AWT keycode 0 because we are unable to map local-specific keysym into Latin-1. 
Possible fix might be to bring ALL keysyms into Java API(as constants, into KeyEvent, in addition to 
Latin-1 and some special keysyms).

After fix to 4360364, XAWT version should work properly with XKB in Mustang, on both Linux and Solaris. 
Note that Solaris may be shipped with Xorg which doesn't work without XKB.
