Re: [I18n] Simple input methods for X11 available (fwd)

[gis88564 <gis88564@cis.nctu.edu.tw>]

	用 XIM 或自己定一套，倒是無所謂，只要寫輸入法時注意到
	軟體架構的問題就好了，支援了 XIM 並不代表不能同時支援
	其他的 protocol ，我沒看過現在支援 XIM 的 xcin 的 source
	code，不知道新版 xcin 不同時支援過去 xcin 2.1 的原因，
	不過，建議未來 xcin 可以考慮一下。:)

	MIM 抓回來看了一下，我倒是滿欣賞他定表格的方式，
	可以學習一下。。。
