By the way, Chinput 3.1 already does "Zhineng Pinyin" or "Intelligent
Pinyin" which uses no tone at all. Okay, you can't quite type an entire
sentence with it, but you can certainly use it to enter phrases.
apt-get install chinput
Hopefully, Zhaoway's DIM (http://dim.sourceforge.net/) would be even
better. :-)
