im-ja-xim-server - A XIM server for im-ja

im-ja-xim-server

im-ja-xim-server is a server to handle Japanese input via the XIM protocol. This should be a drop-in replacement for other Japanese XIM servers such as kinput2. im-ja-xim-server uses the same settings (from GConf) as the GTK2 input module does.

Clients should be able to connect to the xim server if they are started from either the same locale as the server was started from, e.g.:

$ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 im-ja-xim-server
$ XMODIFIERS=@im=im-ja-xim-server LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 your_app

or if they are started from a Japanese locale, e.g.:

$ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 im-ja-xim-server
$ XMODIFIERS=@im=im-ja-xim-server LC_ALL=ja_JP your_app

It is better to have the XMODIFIERS environment variable exported somewhere, for example in your .bashrc or globally in /etc/environment.

If the xim server is started from a non-UTF8 or non-Japanese locale, you might get X errors with invisible preedit.

Some clients when terminating don't destroy the xim context, so the status or preedit window doesn't disappear with the client window.
