From /mit/maple/bin_SUN_4_UNIX/bin_Sun_Solaris_2.3/start-maple:

# For Solaris 2.3 users, you may need to uncomment the following two lines
# XKEYSYMDB=/usr/openwin/lib/XKeysymDB
# export XKEYSYMDB

This should solve the problem for Maple.

In the last release, we copied the openwin XKeysymDB over the top of
the one in /usr/athena/lib/X11. However, I doubt this was the correct
thing to do. For the applications we compile, things are fine as they
stand. It is probably only third-party apps that will have any problem
of this sort. And the Right Thing for those applications is to have
them look in /usr/openwin/lib for that file, not the hack of the last
release.
