When non-European people talk about internationalization, they often talk about displaying and inputing their native character, such as Kanji, Hangul, Cyrillic, Thai, and so on. A window manager is a software on which many softwares run. Thus a window manager which cannot display native characters avoids many softwares (which are internationalized --- Netscape is an example) to work well. Thus I support Atsuhito Kohda's idea to add points to "internationalized" window managers which can display native characters. Please read a document on internationalization which is found in DDP (Debian Documentation Project) web page. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://surfchem0.riken.go.jp/~kubota/
