what about corporation with language-env with scim?
language-env is not properly maintained but we could talk about this
cowork with the maintainer, Tomohiro KUBOTA. For korean, other=20
suggestion for input method is reported against language-env like
"nabi" instead of "ami".

with some editor, we could add lines in .xssession or .xinitrc in ~/:
export XMODIFIERS=3D"@im=3DSCIM"
export GTK_IM_MODULE=3D"scim"
exec scim -d &

We could give some other suggestions, couldn't we?
#en_US.UTF-8 for english=20
#ja_JP.UTF-8
#ko_KR.UTF-8

Can we update /etc/scim/global by /etc/locale.gen or something?
