[Paul Fisher]

Hoping someone will know what is going on with the latest emacs
package.  The quoted part is from gnu.emacs.help usenet group:

I have the same problem upon installing emacs 22.1.1 from
www.blastwave.org (emacs or emacs_gtk package sets) onto OpenSolaris
b77.  This is with no .emacs or other customization installed.

Basically it appears to be an menu, that when clicked on Displays
  [ English/European ]
  [ Cyrillic ]
  [ Greek ]
  [ Arabic ]
  [ Hebrew ]
  [ Unicode Hex ]
  [ Unicode Octal ]
  [ Lookup ]

Selecting any except for [ Lookup ] does nothing, but [ Lookup ]
pops-up a menu of:
  a - Basic Latin
  b - Latin 1
  c - Latin Extended A
  d - Latin Extended B
  ...
  / - Specials
