Re: [Gimp-user] .XCompose bug with GIMP?

[Casey Connor <gimp-user-list caseyconnor org>]

Just as a follow-up -- I am using a GIMP AppImage 
<https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/tag/continuous> 
and I notice (thanks to the help of some folks online) that the Input 
Method list for the text layer in GIMP only has two entries: System 
(Simple) and None. Others are having success with the "X Input Method" 
but I don't have it listed. Is this the cause of my issue? Is there a 
reason the AppImage would lack that?
