Just a nit, sorry.....

I don't do "everything" from the command line on my OS X machine.

Yes, the GUI permits many things, perhaps even most things for the average user, but it does not faciliate "everything" as mentioned above.

Detailed Description
       API provided by libm17n-gui.so.

       GUI support for a window system.

       This section defines the m17n GUI API concerning M-text drawing and inputting under a window system.

       All the definitions here are independent of window systems. An actual library file, however, can depend on a specific window system. For
       instance, the library file m17n-X.so is an example of implementation of the m17n GUI API for the X Window System.

       Actually the GUI API is mainly for toolkit libraries or to implement XOM, not for direct use from application programs.
