You absolutely need XMODIFIERS set for any XIM application to work
at all.

This is a typical boneheaded X design decision, by the way.  XIM does
not work without an X server, therefore the right place to put this
information is in a property on the root window, which always will
exist if a server exists.  The OS environment is the wrong place for
this kind of information.  But I digress.

Wonderful.  300 patches in GCC 2.96, but kterm segfaults, and RH has
closed down their Nihon research offices.

Cool.

Right.  GPM is another daemon that belongs on the Just Say No list.

Er, that's the VT Fonts menu.  So your middle button ain't working.
What does /etc/X11/XF86Config say about your mouse?
