http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-January/002337.html</a> - cool !!! ... But problem begins after creating the IM_Context object and associating it with the GdkWindow of my GtkMozEmbed object : the mozilla_engine stop recognizing any input from the vkb, except if I press 'backspace' ...
<br><br>bwt, in 'commit_cb' method, it prints what I type at the console but doesn't add nothing at the HTML form (detail: it does with no context associated or if I type from the physical keyboard) ...<br><br>
