Description Owen Taylor 2001-12-08 00:16:33 UTC 
I showed the status window to one of our Japanese hackers
and he wasn't impressed - he wanted the status window
to at least appear by the cursor as it does with kinput
in over-the-spot mode.

This should be possible now, though a little tricky to
get absolutely right. In addition to monitoring the
toplevel window position, it would be necessary to
monitor the position of the widget within the toplevel
(done by watching ::hierarchy_changed and by watching
::size_allocate for all ancestors) and the position
of the cursor within the widget 
(from gtk_im_context_set_cursor_location ())

Anyways ... a future improvement

Move open bugs from milestones 2.0.[012] -- > 2.0.3, since 2.0.2 is already out.

Mass changing gtk+ bugs with target milestone of 2.4.2 to target 2.4.4, as
Matthias said he was trying to do himself on IRC and was asking for help with. 
If you see this message, it means I was successful at fixing the borken-ness in
bugzilla :)  Sorry for the spam; just query on this message and delete all
emails you get with this message, since there will probably be a lot.
