Summary: SCIM is not working properly with Java Swing application

Initial Comment:
I'm using SCIM-Anthy on Ubuntu 7.10 in Japanese locale.

When you create input field of dialog, then
1. open dialog
2. CTRL+SPACE
3. input something (ex, nihonn + SPACE)
4. close dialog
5. open dialog
6. CTRL+SPACE
7. input something (ex, nihonn + SPACE)
8. I see the uncommitted texts underlined waiting to be comitted. They're not disappearing.

I had filed this issue against Ubuntu as

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scim/+bug/178742

Please refer to the bug report.

This issue is happening on Ubuntu not Fedora Core. It seems that Fedora
Core was patching to  scim-1.4.4/modules/FrontEnd/scim_x11_frontend.cpp.

Is there any reason not to apply this patch to main branch of SCIM?

I updated the comment in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scim/+bug/178742.

Unfortunately this patch has been backed out from Fedora and
it's reproducible on Fedora 8 now. I could not find the reason
why it has been backed out.

Is it possible to fix it in SCIM? Most Linux distributors are
now using SCIM as input method framework, which means this issue
is reproducible on major Linux now. And it would be hard to
ask each linux distribution to apply the patch.
