To support the dead key and multibyte language like CJK fully, dia should use
XIM. I made a rather hackish implementation for just hangul(korean character)
with the old dia version.
(It is abtained in http://www.kr.freebsd.org/~hwang/patch/dia.diff.gz)
I have plan to support the full implimentaion
including the OnTheSpot input style when I have the more time.
