The locale limitation is only when the application (XIM client) calls XOpenIM(). (This locale is used to communicate strings.) Thus, it is possible for softwares to support multiple XIM servers which requires different locales. > Some things I thing should change: > * It should be allowed to use several XIM methods in the same application > at the same time. Please try mlterm. (http://mlterm.sourceforge.net/) It can use multiple XIM servers by switching. It is not a good idea to use multiple XIM servers *at the exactly same time*, because you will need multiple key binds for invocation of each XIM server. Anyway, mlterm can input mixture of (for example) Japanese, Chinese, and French, which Mule/Emacs had been the only software which could do this for long years. BTW, I am concerned that GUI guidelines such as GNOME Accessibility (http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/guide/gad/) don't mention key binds for XIM. > * The locale should bear no influence on whether an input method is used. I think this can be achieved in toolkit level, so that application developers don't need to know about XIM. (Otherwise, because very few developers know about XIM, very few application softwares will support XIM.) --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ "Introduction to I18N" http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/ _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
