Dead keys not working with most applications (aka "--enable-xim in ecore")

[ThibG]

Hi,
I've made some modifications to the Azerty keyboard to make use of dead keys (to type things like "ê" or "ü").
If I want to type "ê", I'll type "^{" dead key, then "e".
It works fine with the terminal app, however, in most of SHR applications, like contacts or messages, typing "}" then "e" will simply result in "^{e" instead of "ê".}

It sounds like strictly an enlightenment issue. From your report it seems like it works on GTK+ apps but not on efl apps, try contacting them.  http://enlightenment.org
Please confirm this (if it's confirmed then it's an upstream issue).
Changed the component according to your report (although my conclusions classify it to a different component)

On my debian box, enlightenment have the same behaviour.
However, I've been to #e, and I was suggested to compile ecore with --enable-xim.
I'm not really in the mood to recompile something like ecore at the moment, but I'm confident this will fix this behaviour.

Fixed in

version: ecore - 2:0.9.9.060+svnr*-r11.4

it will take a while before it's in feeds (few issues with EFL bump needs to be resolved before syncing it to feed)

I don't get why you reopened it, looks like a mistake, if I'm wrong, please reopen with proper info, I just looked and jama did add this config.
