Regarding XIM:

    No, it is just a matter of code duplication, some things Emacs does
    is done automatically in GTK.  For instance, widgets that handles text
    input (GtkText, GtkEntry) handles XIM by themselves.  But Emacs could not
    use these widgets for its framse, they are too limited.

Are you saying that it IS feasible for Emacs to handle XIM in the
way it needs to, with the existing GTK?   That is the crucial question,
and your message did not answer it explicitly.

People are talking about giving Emacs the ability to select and switch
between different X input methods.  Is this, too, convenient with the
existing GTK?
