They will allow us direct access to input method API. Yeah, i believe immodules are the way to go. I would be perfect if we could have a freedesktop library that everybody could share, so one didn't need to write immodule for Gtk/Qt/Ecore.

For every inputmethod we will have to develop a module for support I am going to start implementing the immodules support today and I believe I should have something working next week. The problem is that i need to make hildon input method working with ecore/etk, and I don't want to make a workaround to change it later. Writing modules for every new input method we want to support is the cost we have to pay to be able to support multiple input method across multiple platforms (Windows, Maemo, Macos, ...). > With XIM we will be able to use existing input method bridges to take > advantage of input methods right now.

Hildon does not have a XIM bridge and I don't think they intend to implement it anytime soon. They already have a Gtk immodule for it, and it seems they don't have interest in adding support for other toolkits.
