Summary: Fix for Bug 229038 numerals pad solaris

Initial Comment:
on Sun Solaris machines the numerals pad generates
problems when there is a bind on the arrow-keys.
In en entry-widget, the 4 and 6 numerals dont work, in
a text-widget the 4,6,2 and 8 numerals.
The problem is, that the "Numlock-Key" has the same
effect as the "Mode-Key", but affects only the keys of
the numerals pad. As a consequence, the third or fourth
slot of the keymap-vector must be used, not the first
and second. 
When the first two vectors are used, XKeycodeToKeysym
always produces the keysyms for the arrow key's and
then the binding of the arrow-keys is taken and not the
numeral istself.
When there is no bind on the arrow-keys, the keys of
the numerals pad work fine, because the function
XmbLookupString takes the keycode and the state of the
mode-switches.
I tested my patch on a sun solaris machine with solaris
2.7.
I hope it works also with linux.
I attach a patch for the following files
generic/tkInt.h	Version 1.40
unix/tkUnixKey.c	Version 1.5
