Re: A OverTheSpot patch for gtk 2.4.x and 2.6.x

[Owen Taylor <otaylor redhat com>]

Really, the answer here has to be to fix input methods support OnTheSpot
input. OverTheSpot in XIM is tied to antiquated methods of font
selection (font sets) which are not supported by GTK+-2

OverTheSpot is basically a hack to make the user think that they
have OnTheSpot with a bit less complexity in the application.
But that hack depends on it being possible to match font and
color between the application and the input method, which is something
we can't do with GTK+-2.
