Thanks very much, this clears up a lot. A few more questions: 1. Most GTK+ programs allow right-clicking in text boxes to change the input method, but Mozilla, unfortunately, does not. But it *is* affected by the GTK_IM_MODULE=xim environment variable, so it appears to be a GTK+ program all right. In fact, starting Mozilla (from the command line) with GTK_IM_MODULE=im-ja mozilla works, resulting in a Mozilla which accepts Japanese input -- without using kinput2! Now it would be extremely nice if this could also be done (somehow) dynamically, "on the fly". GTK+ programs seem to be able to do this, so (I think) Mozilla should be able to do it also. Is there a way to achieve this? 2. In programs which *do* allow right-clicking for input method selection, the "default" input method is (apparently) less useful than the "xim" input method, because of the less-than-perfect Compose implementation in "default". Is there a way to make xim the "default"? Anyway, what exactly is the "default" in the input methods menu? Where is it defined?
