Although it may not be useful to you because you seem

modules.

In Gtk+2 input module mechanism, XIM is yet bound to the locale.
However, there are a dozen or so of Gtk-native input modules that are
accessible regardless of the current locale. You can try it out by running
'gedit' (from Gnome2) and right-click on the text input area.
A drawback of the current implementation is that it doesn't seem
to allow users to *interactively* change some configurable parameters
of input modules as is possible with some XIM's and under MS Windows
and MacOS.
BTW, it'd be nice if Qt3 provides a similar mechanism.
