    Then this is not AbiWord's fault, and there is nothing
    we can do about it, as we get all of our XIM
    information from GTK+2.0. My only advice to you is to
    check that this works in AbiWord when GTK+2.0 and your
    XIM play together nicely. Until then, our hands are
    tied.

    Cheers,
    Dom
