Need a bit of clarification on this. (please be kind enough to correct
me if I say something silly here, because I am very poor at C++ and
OOP in general :-)).

As the im{Get,Delete}Surrounding() of the actual widgets (QLineEdit
and QTextEdit) are called only if they are virtual in QWidget, even
with the above solution, they will _work_ only if -inputmethod-ext is
specified.  Is it the same for icHolderWidget()?  If yes, what's the
reason to do it?  Is it to make sure that the im modules using these
functions compile whether -inputmethod-ext is specified or not?

If the answer to the last question is yes, I will send a new patch.  I
have almost done it, but didn't want to post until I get this bit
clarified.

Thanks in advance.
