I followed your instructions and used uim-gtk and your patch seems to work all right! I can finally input chinese into DiaText!
There is a problem though. After trying uim-gtk once to input Chinese characters into Dia once, my nautilus kept crashing so hard that I had to delete quite a few gnome related dirs (.gnome .gnome2 .nautilus etc)and it still didn't work, until I realized the only change was the installation of uim-gtk; so everything is ok after I dpkg -P it. Because all other chinese XIM I know of use "Ctrl + Space" to activate (it's also the default under MS Windows) and I'd rather not change these programs to use "Shift + Space"; as you have pinpointed where the issue is, could you or someone other developer (Lars, is it your call? ;-)) change Dia to be able to detect "Ctrl + Space"; and I guess this is not a very difficult job, right? Ok, guys, thanks for you hard work on Dia, and if an agreement can be reached regarding the support of chinese XIMs, I'd be very glad. Thanks, Joseph H.
