Thanks for following up. By reading on the web site you pointed me to, I've learned that I do not have these environment variables set: XMODIFIERS=@im=htt GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim
And that I don't have the htt_xbe service running.
I read on the web that variables can just be arbitrarily set (though I'm still not totally clear on exactly how), but I'm wary of just setting these, as my suspicion is that if I had my set up properly isntalled, they would have been set already. So can I just set them (and if so, how?), or is there a better way to ensure that the variables are actually referencing something?
