One glaring difference is this in LyXLookupString:
if (xic) {
#if 1
// somehow it is necessary to do the lookup. Why? (JMarc)
XLookupString(&event->xkey, buffer_return,
bytes_buffer, keysym_return,
0);
if (lyxrc.override_x_deadkeys &&
...
result = XmbLookupString(...);
}
Did you ever get to the bottom of why you had to call XLookupString in order
to call XmbLookupString successfully? Should xforms' call to XmbLookupString
be "initialised" in this way also?

Ummmm. I still don't see why. xforms passes the raw XEvents to the workarea
handler. These are then used by LyXLookupString, modified or not. It really
shouldn't matter if xforms itself has tried to lookup the XEvent.
KeySym keysym = 0;
+#ifdef I18N
+ char s_r[256];
+#else
char dummy[1];
+#endif
XKeyEvent * xke = reinterpret_cast<XKeyEvent *>(ev);
+#ifdef I18N
+ int num_bytes = LyXLookupString(ev, s_r, 256, &keysym);
+#else
LyXLookupString(ev, dummy, 1, &keysym);
+#endif
It just so happens that the call to LyXLookupString is wrapped up inside
#if FL_VERSION < 1 && (FL_REVISION < 89 || (FL_REVISION == 89 && FL_FIXLEVEL <
5))
But, that's our code, so we're free to change that.
