XIM

[Bernardo Innocenti]

Lidet,

remember that we have two different input methods?
The one we've tested last week was GTK IM, the other is
XIM, which is not specific to Ethiopian and, thus, somewhat
less versatile.

We need to support both them in our system, as some
applications can only be made to work with XIM.
Could you please follow up on the following thread?

My uninformed guess would be that 2 would be best.  But I'm forwarding
your question to Lidet for a reliable opinion.
