Patches and Discussions to various XIM Clients
XIM clients are X Window applications which
can accept the input from the XIM servers
such as xcin. There are many kinds of
the XIM clients, and most of them works fine with the XIM servers. However,
some of them still have bugs or problems. So this page is used to discuss
them and provide the patches, if necessary.
Of course it is impossible to discuss all kinds of the XIM clients here.
Also their developments are very fast so that the contents of this page
might be out-of-date sooner or later. Therefore, if you find that the
status of the XIM client is not the same as described in this page, please
refer to its official release directly. On the other hand, if you encounter
problems to use the XIM clients with xcin, but you cannot get help here
or from their official develpment projects or any other places, you may
discuss them in the XCIN mailing list. It
might be help to solve your problems.

patches are recommanded to fix some XIM problems:
- ATerm:
Another kind of X terminal. It is available in the
