  As mentioned before, this is possible in GTK2 applications.
Fire up gnome-terminal and right-click in any text input area
and you'll get a pop-up menu from which you can choose a gtk2
input module a la Windows. Many more gtk2 input modules have
to be written, but at least the framework is there. Besides,
as others wrote, IIIMF is another option although I haven't tried
it.
