Doesn't XIM have a mode in which it cooperates via some protocol with the application so that intermediate (pre-lookup) characters during input appear "in" the app (not overlayed), but are still converted by XIM? AFAIK, that mode is more complicated, so Emacs doesn't use it, but I think firefox does, for instance. -Miles -- Any man who is a triangle, has thee right, when in Cartesian Space, to have angles, which when summed, come to know more, nor no less, than nine score degrees, should he so wish.
