To clarify what I am trying to do: I sometimes type English text, I
sometimes type French text, and I sometimes type Japanese text. Typing
French text requires the XimLocal functionality, and for typing Japanese
text I use kinput. I use a UTF8 locale so having all this representable
or output is not a problem, but for input, if XimProto is active, then
XimLocal is not. I wanted to improve on this.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried to use this but I was hit by a
learning curve. I installed Debian packages iiimf-htt-le-canna,
iiimf-htt-xbe, and iiimf-htt-server. I modified XI18N_OBJS as you
recommended. I never quite figured out how I was supposed to set
$XMODIFIERS, but I finally got _SwitchOpenIM working. After that,
Japanese input using canna worked, but only if the locale was ja_JP,
it did not activate with ja_JP.UTF-8. And the compose key did not
seem to work at all.

I have not had time yet to diagnose further.
