Basically mlterm is an Xlib-based application and doesn't use
GTK+. GTK+ is used for external tools such as mlconfig and
mlterm-menu. mlterm itself are using only imlib or *gdk-pixbuf*
for eye candy functions such as transparent background and
scrollbar plugin.

Yes, it is too hard.

I designed the pluggable IM module API for mlterm without
dependece on GTK+, since mlterm is not a GTK+ application.
For using GTK+ immodule within mlterm, Somthing like bridge
between both APIs will be needed.

A lot of input modes?
Could you give me examples please?

Thanks for your comments in any case.
