Bug 476691 – combining character support

["Neskie Manuel" <neskiem gmail com>]

Hi,

I was looking at this bug [1] since it affects me using combining
characters in vim when I'm using the terminal.  Before I look more
into this I have a few questions:

1. Will this be fixed soon?
2. If not what would be the preferable solution to fixing this? And
how could I help fix combining character support?

I've looked at rxvt which has support for combining characters.  I
also looked at the gtk_text_view and gtk_text_buffer documentation and
followed the tutorial [2]. I think using these would be a good thing
unless it doesn't fit with the code.  I just started looking at the
gnome-terminal code any help pertaining to this problem would be very
much appreciated.
