Hi David, let's conclude this thread as a constructive argument :)

I've found what is the difference. It's not coming from uim
version but bridge implementation between gtk-im-uim and
IMKit-uim.

I had tested first space-committing patch against svn HEAD of
uim with gtk-im-uim, and I got surprising result (for me) like
you said. You're completely right about gtk-im-uim. uim-anthy is
not affected by hangul.scm under gtk-im-uim.

But IMKit-uim on Zaurus platform behaves differently. uim-anthy
is negatively affected via global generic-key redefinitions
(such as generic-next-candidate-key?) once the hangul.scm
loaded. I natulally thought this is a common behavior regardless
of platform because I know define-key mechanism well as
implementor. The result under gtk-im-uim is very strange for me.

You can see the problem that I experienced on IMKit-uim by
following process.

1. Add following form to ~/.uim

   (hangul-change-key-bind)

2. Run a gtk app such as gedit

3. Select uim-anthy and input following key sequence.

   <Control>j nihongo SPACE SPACE

4. Second SPACE of 3. behaves as commit key rather than
   next-candidate key!


So I rewrote the patch to redefine generic-keys safely. The
patch makes uim more proper without any trade-off for everyone
(includes you and me). But my previous patch didn't worked
correctly and I rewrote again. The patch attached to this mail
worked correctly (also works with uim 0.3.4.2, maybe).

Regards,
