Re: [Evolution] special character problem...

[Larry Ewing <lewing helixcode com>]

gtkhtml should support this sort of composing fine when XIM is support
is turned on unfortunately gtkthml-0.7 has XIM turned off and has no
easy way to turn it on, you must define GTKHTML_USE_XIM by hand and
rebuild gtkthml.  This problem has been fixed in CVS and gtkhtml-0.8
will have support turned on when it is released.  I'm sorry for the
trouble.
