After checking the turkish-postfix input method, I noticed that the only 
character that is displayed "a la OSX" is the "i". All the other characters for 
which there are variants are *not* displayed and only their composing 
characters are. So emacs is actually *not* displaying resulting characters.

What I suggested would be an improvement is, for ex in latin-1-postfix, to have 
the following display when you hit "a":

a["'/^_`~] 1.ä 2.á 3.å 4.â 5.ª 6.à 7.ã

right now you only have:
a["'/^_`~]
