So, how can we do? Could we patch Debian?
Let me elaborate this a little bit. The most serious bug which is actually avoided is fd.o #16475, which blocks SCIM events on Thai locale. If not all the three bugs will be fixed, this one should be considered at least. It's not about XIM, but SCIM. And the proposed fix is just about fixing Thai XLOCALE data. The other two are specific to Thai XIM. fd.o #12759 also affects GTK+/Qt apps with XIM selected as the input method. GTK+ users can avoid this by choosing other IM module instead. But Qt users must wait for KDE 4 to be able to do that. This bug causes some valid sequences to be blocked. So, it's still essential to KDE users. fd.o #12517 is minor bug. It hardly affects laptop users in general, for example, as NumLock/CapsLock is hardly used there. But desktop users can still see it. BTW, it doesn't block Thai text input. Just stop filtering. -- Theppitak Karoonboonyanan http://linux.thai.net/~thep/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
