[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.82; input methods don't work when reading section title from minibuffer

[William Henney]

Dear AUCTeX devs,

When using the "C-c C-s" (LaTeX-section) command, the user gets the
opportunity to enter the title for the new section in the
minibuffer. However, if input methods are enabled, then they don't
work when entering this text. I think that the fix is to set the
"inherit-input-method" argument to the "read-string" function.

Here is a new version of LaTeX-section-title (from latex.el) that
works how I would like in Emacs 22:

(defun LaTeX-section-title ()
 "Hook to prompt for LaTeX section title.
Insert this hook into `LaTeX-section-hook' to allow the user to change
the title of the section inserted with `\\[LaTeX-section]."
 (setq title (read-string "Title: " nil nil title t))
 (let ((region (and (TeX-active-mark)
                     (cons (region-beginning) (region-end)))))
   (when region (delete-region (car region) (cdr region)))))

I've no idea if this would still work in older versions of
emacs. Other functions could probably do with a similar makeover
(e.g., LaTeX-env-figure for the figure caption).

Best wishes

Will Henney
