[developers] [afuchs at franz.com: Re: [spr30362] bug using climxm]

[Stephan Oepen]

thanks for the experience reports, dan and francis.  i feel cautiously
optimistic about an imminant closure to this thread :-).

right now, it might matter how the base Lisp image was built and which
version of the code you are trying.  a few immediate comments:

  + like francis, i think it might be necessary to download and install
    the CLIM patch from the Franz web site and rebuild the base Lisp.
  + the LOGON CVS head revision includes some recent patches that try
    to work around the `background stream' issues i reported recently.
  + in general, i think the Lisp locale should be set up before a CLIM 
    window is created (but `no_NO.UTF-8' vs. `ja_JP.UTF-8' probably is
    not a relevant distinction here).
  + in LOGON, i had also enabled an earlier version of the CLIM patches
    from andreas, for testing; in `allegro-patches.lisp':

    #+(and :compiler :logon :unix :clim (version>= 8 1))
    (load 
     (excl:compile-file-if-needed
      (make-pathname :directory general-dir :name "clim")))

    to avoid loading the older version of the patches, one should drop
    this statement when running with the latest (binary) CLIM patches.
  
francis, you sound as if the remaining input woes might be XIM-related;
did you try pasting some korean into the `Parse Input' window?
