Client-Clutter for scim-bridge to support scim with Clutter UI

[Liu, Raymond]

Hi

        To support using scim in Clutter toolkit, I have a patch to add client-clutter in scim-bridge, which is a quick port from client-gtk. Currently we maintained it as a big patch in moblin2 community.

        Last time I talk to Ryo, he said that he is busy with scim 2.0 and not going to accept any patch, but I can see that he got his own works month ago and quit from here.

        So, I am wondering, who can take a review on the patch and help to commit it into the trunk now? Other wise, we had to fork a whole tree on moblin2 by ourselves, or even worse, if you decide that scim will stop to developing, then we will hurry up to support IBus?

Best Regards,
Raymond Liu

It's interesting.
Can you show it here?

Although I don't decide it yet, I'm now considering whether I should take
over his work or not.
(I have an account to commit.)

Patch as attached, sorry for the single big patch in bz2 format, (seems over 70k mail will be blocked by this list)

Locally I use Git to control the source code and have this patch separate into several small ones in git patch format. If you prefer, I can send you those patches.

And this patch is mainly:
1. A quick port from client-gtk with necessary API replacement since we also port GtkIMContext into Clutter. (But we will try to add more features into ClutterIMContext later, say context awareness, etc.)

2. An extension at both client and agent side to support enable/disable imcontext directly other than sending a short-cut key, so that it can support auto show/hide feature on text widget focus when there are no hardware keyboard available.

And you might need the latest Clutter source code to make it work well, which can be found at: git://git.o-hand.com/clutter

And ClutterIMContext library can be found at: git://git.moblin.org/clutter-imcontext

Btw, I also have a project created at Moblin.org to do inputmethod works:
http://moblin.org/projects/input-method-framework

You can found at there we also have a scim-panel-vkb-gtk project created to add another gtk panel, which can embed virtual keyboard's UI with SCIM's panel UI and add a setup module to select which panel to use as the engine setup module did.

Its source code is maintained at: git://git.moblin.org/scim-panel-vkb-gtk

Well I have to say it's almost a dirty hack just to serve our own special usage on moblin2, but I would like to see someone help us to improve it.

Thanks.
Raymond
