Hi Anthony,

I still can't use XIM with Abiword 0.99.1 although it worked with
Abiworrd 0.9.2. In the same way as I wrote below, it doesn't even
react to the key sequence to switch on XIM (Shift-Space for kinput2 or
Control-Space for xcin).

You wrote recently that Abiword is your favorite word processor,
therefore I assume that you can do Chinese input in Abiword.

Do you have any idea what could be wrong?

I can do Japanese and Chinese input in other Gnome/GTK applications.
Abiword doesn't seem to contain its own code for XIM but seems
to rely on the XIM support in the GTK library. Therefore it is quite
strange that I can't get XIM to work in Abiword although it works
in the other Gnome/GTK applications on my system.

Am I doing something stupidly wrong?
