Presently, I am going through the QT code to figure out the best way
to implement surrounding text support.  As it turns out (please
correct me if I am wrong), QInputContext doesn't store text string,
but only the preedit.  Where is it stored?  Is it different for each
widget (in which case we will have to implement a function for every
widget)?

I am not a QT programmer, so may be this is a silly question. ;-)

Thanks in advace.
