Can't compose non-ASCII-characters on Linux (X)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Although I have my Xorg server configured to allow non-ASCII characters
like ö and ß to be entered through the use of a compose key, I'm unable to
enter these in any of the garglk-backed interpreters.

For example, Ralt+', followed by a, should yield the character á, but in
garglk result in 'a. This makes it impossible to play some games which rely
on non-English keywords to be entered by the player.

It looks like all that needs to happen is for sysgtk.c to be updated to support
unicode character input, the way syswin.c was.

I'll need to do this anyhow to support pasting from the clipboard, so this 
should be
fixed soon.

Fixed in r229.  I tested under Ubuntu 9.04 with a Spanish keyboard layout and 
(dead
apostrophe)+(a) yielded á.

You can also compose extended Unicode characters using (Ctrl+Shift+U)+(UTF-32
sequence)+(space).  E.g. 00a9 is the © symbol.

This relies entirely on the Gtk IMModule, which talks to SCIM under Ubuntu and
presumably other input method engines elsewhere.

The upshot is that extended character composition should work in Gargoyle the 
same as
in any other GTK+ app.
