I'm using UIM on Mac OS X with X11 as you may know ;).  uim-xim is
still needed for me since scim (at least 0.99.5) doesn't compile and 
work on this platform.

I'm also planning clean up of uim-xim, and doing some in my
spare time now.  Could you explain the advantage of using IMdkit?
IMHO, Tabata-san's uim-xim code is simple, and having sufficient
(or basic) XIM support.  The main problem I recognize
about current uim-xim is lack of locale support except for
Japanese, and I don't think it is very hard to implement this on
current code basis.


BTW, as I impressed with recent post of Ashie-san's gtk
uim-switch-im patch, I experimentally apply this feature on
uim-xim.  With the idea of branch-leaf mechanism of helper applet,
uim-xim can get dynamic back-end engines selection too.
Please review the attached patch.

Since current uim-xim creates some XimServer instances for 
corresponding back-end engines, and requires user to set 
XMODIFIERS=@im=uim-(engine) for each back-end to use.
In my patch, I changed using @server=uim only, which requires 
XMODIFIERS=@im-uim.  And added command line option to
select default engine (like uim-xim --engine=prime, default is
anthy).

Cheers,
