Maybe ;-)
fl_create_input creates a single input widget. It must belong to a
parent FL_FORM. Since you are doing this in fl_initialize, no FL_FORM
exists yet, so this is bound to fail.
As I read XCreateIC, most of the attributes can be added/removed
after xic is created. Does that not mean that you can create a
'pre-edit area' on the fly. Ie, when the user types 'Shift space' in
a dialog, you'll have code in input.c that says: "Hello! he wants a
pre-edit area" and you'll modify the attributes of the input context
to reflect this --- for this particular input widget. Ditto, when in
pre-edit mode and the input.c code receives a "Space' keypress,
you'll know to turn off this stuff.
Any help?
