Basically, what needs to be done is to take all of the #ifdef USE_XFONTSET lines in lwlib/xlwmenu.c and similar conditionals in src/device-x.c and src/event-Xt.c and change them to #if (defined(USE_XFONTSET) || defined(HAVE_XIM)) Then the current version of input-method-xlib.c does all the work that is needed, and --with-xfs, --with-xim=motif, and --with-xim=xlib can and should be mutually exclusive. In that case input-method-xfs.c needs to be synched with input-method-xlib.c (probably by deleting it and adding `#if defined(USE_XFONTSET)' to the locale-setting code in input-method-xlib.c. And --with-xfs should probably be renamed to --with-multilingual-menubar. Alternatively, you could just require --with-xim for the multilingual menubar. I have tested this lightly, it works, but I don't have time to submit a patch (I'm not synched to a recent version in either the stable or development branch and there's other experimental stuff---failed---I need to clean out) until next week at the earliest. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ What are those two straight lines for?

I don't know; perhaps the locale stuff that XFontSet needs should be separated into a separate file that --with-xim=xlib depends on as well as input-method-xlib.c. But I think that what needs to be done in any case is to make XIM enabled on-the-fly as kterm does, and use the LEIM interface (C-u C-\, etc) to invoke it. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ What are those two straight lines for?
