So the answer is: YES, SUN AGAIN HAS MADE A MISTAKE !!!
They have thrown away simple and effective mechanism for all that slow
X-tricks and have stopped supporting pixrect from Solaris 2.2 & up.
More than that they have done it in a very "user friendly" manner.
Instead of simply not giving me libraries, .h files etc. to make one
stupid enough like myself understand that something have disappeared
they have given all these things in some very strange dummy form, e.g.
svenv command could be run but does nothing and the libpixrect library
is nice to make ld happy but when your program should execute
some pixrect function it gives you those VERY informative messages
mentionned above. So you start searching something in Openwin,
environment etc and then there is no other way as to turn to SUN
Managers.
