Hi,

Sounds great!

immodule can use all gtk+ widget, so you can use GtkOptionMenu or
GtkTree to make lookup window.

>     Will immodule able to intercept some hot key from user input??
immodule handles all key events, so it is basically ok.

>     Do there are some definite source concerning immodule?
I don't know, but you can use following immodules as an example.

imhangul Korean(Hangul)
 http://kldp.net/projects/imhangul/

im-ja Japanese
  Canna Japanese conversion system and Kanjipad
 http://im-ja.sourceforge.net/

uim(im-uim) Scheme script based input method collection
  *Anthy, SKK, T-code Japanese conversion system
  *Hangul/PinYin/Viqr/IPA(Phonetic symbols) from Emacs leim
 http://sourceforge.jp/projects/anthy/files/

They all have interesting features.
 (1)imhangul can communicate with status applet.
 (2)im-ja has Kanjipad: mouse stroke based Japanese input system
 (3)uim is a script based system, thus you can extend, configure
    and add your own input method easily.

I am author of uim, so please ask me if there is a question.
