I think not having XIM is bad. To me it sounds like "japanese is too complicated, speak english". May be the case that _we_ don't need it that much, but then we're putting another barrier on who we call _we_. Having the keyboard working is just too basic and should be provided by default in any software, not as a separate patch. And it seems like it's mostly working and that it's not that easy to trigger the bug. In this case, I think it's even worse to remove it. That is my political position. If st isn't affected, can't dmenu be fixed? -- Igor
