Dear CG, thanks for the explanation. I now understand that we need only one
IC (per dialog?) and that we can change it's position using XSetICValues.
Great, I've learnt something new.
However, and without meaning to be rude, your code in input.c is barmy ;-)
1. No IC exists anymore:
if (fl_context->xic)
XDestroyIC(fl_context->xic);
2. You are setting the value of a null IC
XSetICValues(0,XNPreeditAttributes,preedit_list,0);
What happens if you remove the lines of 1 and modify two to
XSetICValues(fl_context->xic,XNPreeditAttributes,preedit_list,0);
as it is in your example II.
