Wow! First responses were in within 15 minutes, and they keep coming!
This list is fantastic!

Thanks to the following people for their help:

Andrey included a uuencoded tar file containing the contents of his
/usr/openwin/lib/config directory. These worked flawlessly on my Sparc5
using Solaris2.5.1. Many thanks to him for that.
