mockup for Input Method tab (11.18 KB, image/png)

Description Akira TAGOH 2011-07-29 06:21:00 UTC 
That would be nice to see features in the region and language panel to manage the input method for the language.

mockup for Input Method tab

I've added an Input Method tab for the mockup since there are some cases one may uses the Input Method which isn't exactly needed on the language. so that may be a good idea to have a separate tab to configure it independently.

FWIW there may be difficulty to accomplish this RFE; I'm planning to use imsettings to obtain the certain information for Input Method though, the type registration will fails when the panel is going to reopen, because of registering it twice - this typically happens when loading any external shared libraries, which gnomecc itself isn't linking, but only used in a module, because _get_type won't gives us a value surely registered to glib anymore after unloading the module. I have no idea to fix it so far (except the non-portable way, loading the module with RTLD_NODELETE say).

ping?

Any comments about this feature?

Posting ping in bugzilla isn't how you would bring a feature of this scale into being.
