First, thanks to Jungshik Shin & Mike FABIAN for your replies.
I surmise that the current state of RH8 is that it is not yet suitable for entry of all languages simultaneously. (flaws in XIM itself being part of the problem) I can probably setup some scripts to pop up a gedit in a given mode, but, with the exception of VIQR and Korean, I cannot yet graphically switch around to any input method with the version of gtk2 that comes with rh8. Hopefully, in the near future, RH will ship all utf-8 locales by default, and gtk2 will have a XIM wrapper that allows access to any input method on the system from any language locale. (Im going to try to see how it works with dvorak keylayout next. MS IME does not support dvorak for Japanese or Vietnamese, so if it does work then thats an advantage ) thanks, -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
