Re: Question about Input Method issue of GTK2

[Hidetoshi Tajima <hidetoshi tajima sun com>]

Hi,

GtkIMContextXIM does not support either over-the-spot or off-the-spot. 
It cannot, because these
styles will require a XFontSet, but gtk+2.0 does not use the XFontSet.

For gtk-im-preedit-style and gtk-im-status-style, "callback" for 
on-the-spot and "nothing" for root-window-style are  valid values, and 
they should be effective at run-time by changing with
gconftool-2.

I think latest xcin should have on-the-spot support - does not it?

Regards,
Toshi
