I don't know about XIM protocol itself, but I don't think it is difficult to implement an XIM client, nor is it too complicated than is needed. One or two "styles" is enough. Especially, "over-the-spot" style is relatively simple to implement and useful for users. What points do you think are "useless" on XIM? I don't know why you think so, whether because you really understand XIM or because you don't know about needed complicity and features for CJK support. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
