Update!  I must have made a mistake while testing i18ninput.  The demo
program works on all versions that I had previously tried.

I also finally have my software working with SCIM, as well.  I had to
set XMODIFIERS, call XtSetLanguageProc and XSetLocaleModifiers
explicitly before my X event loop, and use a fontType of
FONT_IS_FONTSET.

I have updated the bug report, such that the input method should be
made compatible with Unicode XFreeType fonts.
