Details

Description: Currently, rxvt is compiled with a single configure option:
--prefix=/usr

Without adding --enable-xim, accentuation support doesn't work. Here, I have a brazilian ABNT2 keyboard. which works accordingly on the Linux console and on X with other applications and terminals.

According to http://rxvt.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rxvt/trunk/README.configure?revision=1751&view=markup : "add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set up the input for people using dead keys."

Additional info:
* package version(s): 2.7.10-5

Steps to reproduce:

Try to input any accent followed by a letter.

With rxvt, you get : ´a `a ~a ^a

With other terminals (I tested roxterm), you get it right: á à ã â
This task depends upon
