--- Comment #3 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com 2009-01-13 20:51:50 EDT --- That relies on xsettings to deliver IM configuration on demand for gtk+ applications at least and also uses the configuration in gconf that gnome-settings-daemon stored. which does take care of it on GNOME. since xfce has own xsettings manager and it doesn't support the key for immodule, we needed add-on to do that. If adding the key to xfconf upstream is reasonable, that would be good. but I guess they don't like gconf at all? Though I can put the configuration for xfce anywhere if you like. then xfconf just delivers it through xsettings. there shouldn't be additional dependencies there.
Otherwise separate component like this would be good to manage/maintain it.
