Patch for st-im-text.c (808 bytes, patch)

Description Takao Fujiwara 2011-09-07 00:45:57 UTC 
Reading the header of gnome-shell/src/st/st-im-text.c, it seems StIMText does not support preedit.
I'd think StIMText calls gtk_im_context_set_use_preedit so that input method knows the application doesn't not support preedit and launches their own preedit.

We'd need a lot more than this to support shell-native pre-edit.

Closing because native IBus integration is happening.
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2012-06-01 11:54:16 UTC 
Still needed.
Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2012-06-04 16:12:58 UTC 
To be clear, what we really need is preedit support in ClutterText

Is there any feature lacking in clutter_text_set_preedit_string?  I just tried it a bit and it seems to work on the shell search box with ibus-anthy.

Patch attached to bug 664041.

This is "fixed" now.
