Just thought I'd throw in my slightly different way of solving this problem: Firstly, caveat: I'm only using this with Japanese. .xesssion: export XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2" kinput & bbkeys -w -t & exec blackbox This is subobtimal to the SuSE solution, where I can start a program like bbkeys or kinput2 without needing to hardcode my window manager. But that's a different issue. .Xresources (This is the clever bit) *IMProtocol.locales: en_AU,ja_JP !*international: True *.inputMethod: kinput2 *.preeditType: OverTheSpot !*conversionStartKeys: <Key>Print !Vim*preeditType: OnTheSpot !UXterm*VT100*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 !*VT100*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-ja-13-120-75-75-c-120-75-75-c-120-iso10646-1 !UXterm*VT100*boldfont: -misc-fixed-bold-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 The *IMProtocol.locales: line means that if the locale (LC_CTYPE) is en_AU or ja_JP, it will activate the XIM. I know it works with kinput2, but I dunno about the other XIM servers. The only reason I have ja_JP there is that gjiten overrides your locale settings to ja_JP /etc/environment LANGUAGE=en_AU LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 If I wanted to do Chinese input (for example) I'd hook up cserver to a different key-combo, I guess. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 5th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
