Hi all. 

Sorry if I am resurrecting an old ghost.

I recall reading somewhere that xorg finally supports (for a few years
now), multiple characters iwth a single key stroke, but that requires
some files in $USER directory.

My question is, is / would such jugaad be accepted by distros?

TIA.

My issue is, normal distros still do not support the "typewriter" aka
Remington keyboard (for Malayalam); and it is not easy to convert
middle aged not so high IQ equipped typists into inscript. And scim,
which provides a solution, does not seem to work on light on resources
window managers.

And under KDE, scim misbehaved when I tried it last time, whcih was
several years back - specifically while doing a dist-upgrade. (which
is quite often, I use Debian testing - even on servers). 

And sigh; the real reason is, I hate installing extra packages; if I
can help it. Having to install xorg-jugad-ml-remington.[deb|rpm] to
the long list is - yuck!!!!
