Thank you for your work. Sorry to late reply as testing took some time. Previously referred XIMs (ibus, scim, uim, fcitx) worked well after gnustep-back update. Not all applications were not tested but applications of which main work is text-input such as Ink, Typewriter, ProjectCenter, Gorm, GNUMail AddressManager were tested. Especially Gorm for resources localizing tool was so necessary that it is good to work. Thanks again.
