Description Young-Ho Cha 2002-01-24 05:47:46 UTC 
I updated XFree86 to 4.2 and I can't start all gtk and gnome apps. (even
gnome-session)

I found that XMODIFIERS is defined but xim is not yet running

I didn't seen before XF86 4.1

Is this Xlib problem? or gdk problem?
Comment 1 Young-Ho Cha 2002-01-24 09:56:10 UTC 
This is xchat back trace output under same condition.(XF86 4.2 ,
gtk1.2.10, xchat 1.8.7 compiled with -g option)

(gdb) bt

- What input method?
- Was the input method working before the upgrade (this seems
  to be a segfault on the "can't open IM" path.)

Turns out to be Xlib bugs in 4.2 that xcin reveals in some
fashion. See:

 http://xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2002-January/015184.html

And followups.

AMI is the input method (Korean)

And it worked before upgrading xfree86 to 4.2
