There is a lot of interest in getting XIM in. Unfortunately I can't
personally test it because I don't have XIM and I have no idea how to
test it. If hj is not around anymore can you test it Aaron? If
you think it is OK I will commit it.
The patch is located at:
http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/00/April/0110.html
In addition recently Petr posted a patch for the XIM patch to fix
the gnome front end build. It is located at:

I'm not sure whether Joaquin put this in can you check?
Thanks!
Martin
