In 4.1.3 the sun xlib (in effect the client side) performed its own
compose sequence mapping internal to XLookupstring(). If an application
uses the normal non stateful connections to the XLookupString (et al)
interfaces, everything should work. Presumably motif works at a lower
level than plain xlookupstring() (although I note that it works with
the official motif 1.2.2 release on solaris2.2 from Sunsoft)

To get some more input on this, the best thing to do is monitor the
event queue using xev (from the x11r5 release at least). See if the
event changes between running an openwindows deskset app and one
running with the motif toolkit,

PS - your display application supports the 8bit output??
