I am sorry that I have no ability to do that :-Q

But I would like to talk about the issue that xcin community had been
discussed.

Since xcin deal with traditional Chinese (TW) and simplified
Chinese(CN), maybe we need a mechanism (and a panel applet) to 
switch the XIM Servers online.

We can launch two seperate XIM servers now, 
LC_ALL=zh_TW.Big5 xcin &
LC_ALL=zh_CN.GB2312 xcin &

We used to imagine that we can switch the client's locale online,
then we can use these two different XIM servers.

But Pango is not locale dependent.
I have no idea how we can input from two seperate XIM servers.

GtkIMContextXIM ?
