It's true, there is a fault with the UNDEF __sincos and no libsunmath.
There are 5 packages with files like this:
    CSWgraphvis
    CSWgtkengines
    CSWlibrsvg
    CSWxfcelibs
    CSWxfcetoys
For some reason the compiler doesn't complain at link time.  However,
the "Glider" theme is the one which shows the relocation errors, not
"Crux", further for "Glider" a useful theme is installed - even if
I can't tell if something is not exactly as intended.  I guess this
isn't causing the X error you see.

If you think this is the problem and want to try a package that you
can drop into stable:
http://www.blastwave.org/testing/gtk_engines-2.6.5,REV=2006.08.29-SunOS5
.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz


(Note, i386 does not have the UNDEF __sincos.)
