I believe so.  I tried (just for fun ;-)) to change the KoTextView to
subclass from QWidget instead of QObject, and implemented blank
overides for im functions, and it didn't work.  But I am planning to
have a serious look at them when we release Sinhala GNU/Linux 0.2 by
the weekend.

Thanks.  What's the neat way add it only if qt+im is compiled with
binary incompatibility enabled?
