However, GTK+2 input method has a problem that it depends on GTK+2,
a relatively heavy toolkit. For example, can I hope Xterm to support
GTK+2 input methods?
There are many softwares which advertise themselves as "lightweight".
Is the availability of such softwares a priviledge of European-language
speaking people?
The advantage of XIM is that it is supported by X11R6 itself and
doesn't need any additional libraries, thus it fits for lightweight
softwares.
