[Uim] UIM-latin: how does it work?

[Christian Fröbel]

Hey Etsushi,

this is a bit confusing. I think Multi_key is the same as the compose key, 
right? In this case it is diffecult to test for me. After I posted in this 
forum I found out that what I was looking for could be done with the usual 
Xorg stuff by simply defining the compose key, e. g.:

setxkbmap us -option compose:rwin

With that I could input Latin characters in quite the same way as you 
described (or exactly the same way?).

Now, if scim is running as well, who's interpreting the keys, X or scim?

Does X use uim too if the compose key is defined?

I'm not very deep into this topic but I'm certain there's a lot of confusion 
out there and only very little useful documentation.

Anyway, I got it working for me now.

Domo arigato,
  Christian
