Thanks a lot for your reply.
After posting the previous mail for this problem, I tried
various things to solve the problem. I finally found what
caused the xim failure.
I had upgraded e17 before occuring the problem, and then
I executed "enlightenment_remote -lang-set" command with
an argument:
"ja_JP.UTF8"
to set up Japanese environment. This argument caused the
xim failure. It should correctly be "ja_JP.UTF-8", but I
actually used "ja_JP.UTF8" as a value of the argument.
Even if I used the wrong value as an argument of "-lang-set",
the menu from the root window, for example, was normally
shown in Japanese. This made me consider the environment
normal. But actually xim didn't work. So I felt it weird.
This problem was solved by specifying the correct value
"ja_JP.UTF-8".
In other words, "-lang-set" doesn't complain at all if the
argument is wrong, and the command with the wrong argument
sets up PARTIALLY normal language environment for me.
There is another one. "-lang-list" now shows a list
containing available langs such as "ja" for Japanese. But
if I use "ja" as an argument of "-lang-set", my desktop is
still English environment. It doesn't change my desktop
from English to Japanese. I still(?) need to use "ja_JP.UTF-8"
as a value of "-lang-set" to set up Japanese desktop.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards.
