I just ran setenv LC_CTYPE zh_CN.GB2312 setenv XMODIFIERS @im=fcitx fcitx & and ran some applications like emacs, mlterm, aterm... they all worked for me. Then I tried to set the LC_CTYPE to zh_CN.GBK, the XIM still working. Only the characters can't be displayed correct, since I only have the X core fonts installed. And I didn't installed misc/localedata. Maybe you can have a try to recompile the applications which you want to use XIM with? Regards, loader
