Hi,

View.java has this method (enableInputMethodEvents) with no documentation.

On Linux it uses X input method events.

But I can't figure out why exactly it must be enabled. When it's not
enabled, there are input method events anyway....
And it seems (at least on Linux) to do the same thing for keyboard events,
but using Xlib directly instead of GDK.

It seems to touch composition - that is when multiple keypresses are needed
to generate a symbol, for example, accented characters.

Why does it exist?
