Hi Egbert,
I'm using ibus instead of scim so I can't really test. (trying to
switch between ibus and scim in the past has caused me massive
headaches, so I'm not real gung-ho to do that again)
I tried switching between two xterms and I don't see the problem (again,
with ibus). However, if the fixes work, you don't see any regressions
and have been 'field-tested', I say do it.
Just my two cents,
Matt

Noneteless the patches have been 'field-tested' on SUSE enterprise
products for quite some time now - while those fixes have eliminated
the error that has been seen so far we are not aware of any reports
of regressions caused by those fixes.
Any takers for these - anyone willing to ack?
I know, XIM is painful and I understand if noone wants to bother:
The underlying issues are really messy.
On the other hand these patches have resolved the bugs described
and no regression has been seen so far although these patches
have been used on SUSE Enterprise products for quite a while now.
XIM the underlying input method doesn't play an important role any
more today, it is still used by a lot of legacy applications and
software that is (or at least used to be) based on legacy X11
libraries.
The bugs addressed here have been found in Java applications.
Therefore I believe it would still be beneficial to include these
fixes in XIM.

filters in place.
XIM: Fix sync problem on focus change.
