Linux Input Method Configuration
http://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/whitebox/4/en/os/x86_64/RELEASE-NOTES-en.html
Should you wish to switch between IIIMF and the legacy input method framework XIM, you can use the system-switch-im application. There is also the command-line tool im-switch for changing the user and system configuration.
White Box Enterprise Linux 4 uses an alternatives-based system of files in /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ and ~/.xinput.d/ to configure the input methods used for different locales. Users of locales for which input methods are not used by default (for example, en_US.UTF-8) that wish to input Asian text must execute the following commands from a shell prompt:
mkdir -p ~/.xinput.d/
ln -s /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/iiimf ~/.xinput.d/en_US
This overrides the system default and enables the use of IIIMF for American English. To configure the input method for an different locale, replace en_US with your locale name (without the charset suffix). To set the input method to be used for all locale use the word default instead of en_US.
Users upgrading from White Box Enterprise Linux 3 should note that /etc/sysconfig/i18n and ~/.i18n can no longer be used for input method configuration; any custom configuration still needed should be moved as appropriate to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ or ~/.xinput.d/.
