I don't understand most of what you've said.
On Ubuntu Breezy, and on a virtual machine of stock
GNOME 2.13.something, the Input Methods appears in the
context menu of all text widgets.
It has a list of items as I've detailed.
These need to be documented.
If nobody can satisfactorily explain what these are
and how they work, may I request that they be removed
from GNOME?
