Comment 24 for bug 2561

The following Bugzilla bugs might be resolved through this issue:

1. "+ and - Keyboard accelerators inaccessible on international keyboards
(larger/smaller font size)"
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88380

2. "some control key sequences don't generate the correct event (ctrl-enter
...)"
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50255

3. "can't use gtk2 input modules ?"
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164793

I think the following three are as well related to the core problem discussed here:
a. Unable to input Latin-1 chars using US keyboard with input locale set
to CJK
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98376
b. Gtk2 XIM : Multi input context is not separated
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218155
c. No way to switch the GTK input modules
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214412
extract: "Yeah, SCIM and IIIIMF should 'solve' this problem without
anything changed on
the part of Mozilla. "

GTK+ 1.x (old stable version) had a bug and exhibited this exactly bug that
Firefox has. However, it has been resolved in GTK+ 2.x, therefore it looks good
to give control to GTK+ to handle input.
For a summary, see
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2002-February/msg00051.html

Solving this core issue can clear up quite a few bugzilla entries.
