This seems to be a persistant problem for a number of people

That does look nicer. (It is however, also about 40% slower, a whole
0.3 seconds!)

With a minor modification, I've come up with the following:

=== makekeysyms.awk ===
$1 == "#define" && NF >= 3 {
    sub(/^XK/,"GDK",$2)
    sub(/0X/,"0x",$3)
    print $1,$2,$3
}
===

and, correspondingly:

=== makecursors.awk ===
$1 == "#define" && NF >= 3 {
    sub(/^XC/,"GDK",$2)
    printf("%s = %s,\n",toupper($2),$3)
}
===

Hmmm, looks like more extensive configure tests are needed. (The
iswalnum definition is needed, since some libraries don't have
it, and the C libraries iswalnum can't be used with X_LOCALE. )

Thanks for the report,
