This along with --disable-xkb got it to compile and at least testgtk
and gtk-demo seemed to work for me on Solaris 2.7.

The --disable-xkb was needed since the X header files seemed to be
messed up (at least on the Suns at my office - I'm not the admin). It
seems the one of the Xkb header files refers to another file that
doesn't exist (it does exist on the few Solaris 8 machines we have).
