Great idea. I like the mschwage's suggestion. I used to use the \/ method, but now I will change to mschwage's default-changing method :-)
Thanks for the contribution. I love it when I learn something new here on UNIX.COM!

XOpenIM(3X) XLIB FUNCTIONS XOpenIM(3X)
NAME
XOpenIM - open input method information
SYNTAX
XIM XOpenIM(display, db, res_name, res_class)
Display *display;
XrmDatabase db;
char *res_name;
char *res_class;
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
db Specifies a pointer to the resource database.
res_name Specifies the full resource name of the application.
res_class Specifies the full class name of the application.
DESCRIPTION
The XOpenIM function opens an input method, matching the current locale and modifiers specification. Current locale and modifiers are
bound to the input method at opening time. The locale associated with an input method cannot be changed dynamically. This implies the
strings returned by XmbLookupString or XwcLookupString, for any input context affiliated with a given input method, will be encoded in the
locale current at the time the input method is opened.
The specific input method to which this call will be routed is identified on the basis of the current locale. XOpenIM will identify a
default input method corresponding to the current locale. That default can be modified using XSetLocaleModifiers for the input method mod-
ifier.
The db argument is the resource database to be used by the input method for looking up resources that are private to the input method. It
is not intended that this database be used to look up values that can be set as IC values in an input context. If db is NULL, no database
is passed to the input method.
The res_name and res_class arguments specify the resource name and class of the application. They are intended to be used as prefixes by
the input method when looking up resources that are common to all input contexts that may be created for this input method. The characters
used for resource names and classes must be in the X Portable Character Set. The resources looked up are not fully specified if res_name
or res_class is NULL.
The res_name and res_class arguments are not assumed to exist beyond the call to XOpenIM. The specified resource database is assumed to
exist for the lifetime of the input method.
XOpenIM returns NULL if no input method could be opened.
