No I haven't removed this. But if so, this is a bug, I will look at this.
Just for info, only -xftfm is removed. Nothing else.

Ok I will look everything else as soon as possible. I had a few days
pretty loaded and could not really use time for mrxvt. But hopefully, I
may spare back time for this in a few days. :-)

Thanks for all the feedback.

Hi all,

I am trying the utf-8 branch on a double boot Mandriva Linux, I have
just installed. I managed to install scim/xim as well... But I cannot
get it to work directly with mrxvt!

On my Gentoo, I can directly type Japanese or whatever one may have
configured through scim in mrxvt (so type text in any language in vi for
instance!). But here I can activate scim on Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.
But not in mrxvt.
The problem is that I never really understood how does Scim work, and
the difference between scim/xim/skim/other stuff in IM. I just managed
to have it installed perfectly somehow on my OS (but after days of
trying stuffs randomly, I must admit).

So... would anyone here know how this work and what to do? (I know, this
look stupid to ask other how I did something :p) Having the possibility
to write (and not only read or copy/paste) directly any language in
mrxvt was a great satisfaction to me. :-D But I don't manage to
reproduce it so I am sad. :-(
Thanks.

Jehan

P.S.: at least I know this is not because of something I broke under
mrxvt as it still works with scim configured under my Gentoo... So it is
most probably a configuration matter...

If you like, I can install the same on my Gentoo box, and see if it just
works. (Only I don't know what XIM is / etc.) If you tell me what to
emerge, and what to run / expect, I can check it for you on Gentoo.

I have ssh access to a Fedora box. I tried the utf-8 branch on it.
Catting files worked perfectly. However I haven't tried any XIM stuff.
I can try whatever I do on my Gentoo box on the Fedora box, *provided* I
don't have to install anything there. (I compiled mrxvt / mrxvt-utf8 on
the Fedora box, but don't have the patience to trace dependencies and
compile by hand some random Gnome package...)

PS: One thing I found quite useful for testing was kvm / vmware. I
    recall someone posting a bug that was only reproducible under
    Enlightenment, which I certainly didn't want to install on my Gentoo
    laptop. But running the live CD under kvm was quite painless.

Hi,

sorry I didn't post many messages, nor commit code this week. It is a
pretty full week. Hope it will change soon.

For the UIM stuff, I didn't really answer, because as I said, I am not
sure what is the exact thing I made which worked because there are a lot
of packages for all the Input Method stuffs (the one for KDE, for Gnome,
the X one, etc.), and many different explanation of the configuration to
make on the web...
Anyway I managed to have it work using on my Mandriva when loading KDE!
On my Gentoo, I make it work without KDE. I don't really know how...

I will give more information if I understand more.

Jehan
