XSetLocaleModifiers man page don't give much details, and someone who could give an explanation of XSetLocaleModifiers("@im=none") would be welcome. </pre> Cheers Lucien <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Le 06/05/2016 à 16:27, Lucien Gentis a écrit : </div> <blockquote cite="mid:adc03b93-0a58-35f4-6ae0-f72ac7bda540@univ-lorraine.fr" type="cite"> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"> Additional informations: Even XNInputStyle is not set: if I do: ic=XCreateIC(im,XNInputStyle,XIMPreeditNothing|XIMStatusNothing,NULL); long int st; XGetICValues(ic,XNInputStyle,&st,NULL); printf ("XIMPreeditNothing|XIMStatusNothing = %ld - style ic = %ld\n",XIMPreeditNothing|XIMStatusNothing,st); I get: XIMPreeditNothing|XIMStatusNothing = 1032 - style ic = 1 (style ic should be 1032) I have tested this little program on different machines : --- 1st machine: Ubuntu 14.04: It works Another Ubuntu 14.04 system: it doesn't work Ubuntu 12.04: it works --- 2nd machine: Ubuntu 14.04 via VirtualBox on Windows 7: it doesn't work NetBSD 7.0 via VirtualBox on Windows 7: it works !

In order to be able to type in accented character, some of them with dead keys, I use XmbLookupString function and a unique Input Context. Since my app has several X windows, each time one of them gets input focus, I must set "XNFocusWindow" attribute to it through XSetICValues function, but it doesn't seem to work: If "w" is the X window I want to set as "XNFocusWindow" attribute of the IC, when I reread this attribute through XGetICValues function, I don't obtain the same value: XSetICValues(ic,XNFocusWindow,w,NULL); Window winicfocus; XGetICValues(ic,XNFocusWindow,&winicfocus,NULL); printf ("Window w id : %ld - IC focus window : %ld\n",w,winicfocus); I get: Window w id : 77594625 - IC focus window : 0 To illustrate that, I have joined a little programme you should compile through this command: gcc -g -Wall prog-1.cc -o prog-1 -lX11 <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Lucien GENTIS UNIVERSITE DE LORRAINE - ESPE Centre de Ressources Informatiques 5, Rue Paul Richard C.O. 3 - MAXEVILLE 54528 LAXOU-CEDEX Tél. 03 72 74 13 28 Email : <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:lucien.gentis@univ-lorraine.fr">lucien.gentis@univ-lorraine.fr</a></pre> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <pre wrap="">_______________________________________________ <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:xorg@lists.x.org">xorg@lists.x.org</a>: X.Org support Archives: <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg</a> Info: <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg">https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg</a> Your subscription address: %(user_address)s</pre> </blockquote> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <pre wrap="">_______________________________________________ <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:xorg@lists.x.org">xorg@lists.x.org</a>: X.Org support Archives: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg</a> Info: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg">https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg</a> Your subscription address: %(user_address)s</pre> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Lucien GENTIS UNIVERSITE DE LORRAINE - ESPE Centre de Ressources Informatiques 5, Rue Paul Richard C.O. 3 - MAXEVILLE 54528 LAXOU-CEDEX Tél. 03 72 74 13 28 Email : <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:lucien.gentis@univ-lorraine.fr">lucien.gentis@univ-lorraine.fr</a></pre> </body> </html>
