Bug#89703: more infos about Compose file

[Changwoo Ryu]

I finally found this ooold bug still open...

I don't see which informations needed more.  But let me try to explain
more:


The Compose file (and Xlib) provides some kind of a simple input method,
usually for iso8859-* users like a method with dead key (various accents
like umlauts, cedilla, etc.). But CJK inputs are too complex to be done
with the Compose file and Xlib.  They are usually done by a separate XIM
server.

But the problem is, Compose file always has higher priority than XIM,
unless XMODIFIERS environment variable is defined.  This means all CJK
users have to set their own XMODIFIERS environment variable in xsession
or like to use any XIM server.  


Gentoo recently removed the Compose files in CJK locales:

I will seek for advice on debian-i18n and see with XFree86 maintainers
if this change can be committed.
BTW could you please also have a look at #296719?  We obviously need
help about CJK issues.
