Here is my own experience. If you want chinese input for console, use xcin 2.3 + crxvt. If you want to use it in browser (my only experience with window application is phoenix), xcin 2.5 + export {suitable setting} before starting X.
I have no luck in Eterm. xcin 2.5 won't even work with crxvt. Hope this help. If you have come up something brilliant, please share with me. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
