Hmm. I don't know scim that well either, but I had _assumed_ it was
like UIM and the graphical bits and pieces were seperate processes,
with their own IPC API. And I'd assumed scim-uim talked to uim like
the helper API or something similar...

I guess I need to get scim-uim compiled and working before I can be
of much help in this direction.

It means it can know and act upon such, yes. Although only the keys,
rather than data structures and other details.

In this way, we end up making this a general interface for anything
that wants to talk to UIM, rather than a helper API. I do not think
that was the original intention though?

I really must read that design document that was posted a while ago.
