User Input Methods Normally, you use the system's default input method server. Instead of using the default, you can use your own input method server if it is installed on your system. If you want applications to use your own input method server, click on Other in the Input Method dialog box and enter the name of your input method server in the text field. The name of the input method is governed by the input method server. The name should be the same as the setting of the XMODIFIERS environment variable. Please consult the input method documentation for details.
