[gtk-osx-users] Japanese input in GtkTextView on OSX not supported?



I've got some requests to support japanese/chinese input in my GTK program on OSX.
Note that I do build and bundle default input modules for some other languages and that seems to work OK AFAIK.

Looking into issue, it appears that GTK built on OSX does not communicate with MacUIM or similar solution.
I've exchanged mail with UIM developer, here is the relevant quote:

Are there any plans to improve this ? Does anyone know any bundled GTK app that works correctly in regards to input for asian languages ?
