--------
The Mosaic script says,
if [ ! -r "/mit/x11/${machtype}lib/X11/XKeysymDB" ]; then
        zwrite ${USER} -n -d -m 'Mosaic is unable to find its Motif Keysyms....
    Please type "detach x11" and run Mosaic again to reread the configs
    If you get a LOT of warning messages.'
fi

But on some systems users will get the error,
 detach: Filesystem "x11" wanted by others, not unmounted.

How about copying the XKeysymDB file into /mit/sipb/lib and setting
the XKEYSYMDB environment variable appropriately?  That would remove the
dependence on the x11r5 locker.

Jeffery:  In the meantime, you can work around this by doing

setenv XKEYSYMDB /afs/athena/astaff/project/x11r5/sun4lib/X11/XKeysymDB

before you run Mosaic.
