input context attribute "XNFocusWindow"

[Lucien Gentis]

Hi to all,

My system : Linux - Ubuntu 14.04

I am developing an application which relies on Xlib Library and I try to 
internationalize it.

In order to be able to type in accented character, some of them with 
dead keys, I use XmbLookupString function and a unique Input Context.

Since my app has several X windows, each time one of them gets input 
focus, I must set "XNFocusWindow" attribute  to it through XSetICValues 
function, but it doesn't seem to work:

If "w" is the X window I want to set as "XNFocusWindow" attribute of the 
IC, when I reread this attribute through XGetICValues function, I don't 
obtain the same value:

XSetICValues(ic,XNFocusWindow,w,NULL);
Window winicfocus;
XGetICValues(ic,XNFocusWindow,&winicfocus,NULL);
printf ("Window w id : %ld - IC focus window : %ld\n",w,winicfocus);

I get:

Window w id : 77594625 - IC focus window : 0

To illustrate that, I have joined a little programme you should compile 
through this command:
gcc -g -Wall prog-1.cc -o prog-1 -lX11
