Well, the code in question is:

      xkb_desc = XkbGetMap (gdk_display, XkbKeySymsMask, XkbUseCoreKbd);
      if (xkb_desc == NULL)
        g_error ("Failed to get keymap");

This is a "not supposed to happen" situation, hence the abort
here rather than recovery.

It should be easy enough to make it fall back to the non-XKB case
for this, but it would be nice to know why this is happening -- 
there may be something special about using XKB on Solaris that
isn't the case with XFree86.
