Can you elaborate why you are telling me this style is wrong?  (You may
be right but in order for me to change, I need some reference
information.)

Here is my background.

We moved to QT4 and QT4_IM_MODULE is valid
environment variable to use as I heard (I do not use KDE).  Can you
point me to the reference document which is the base of your assertion.

Almost all im-switch code uses QT4_IM_MODULE.

My quick googling related this topic is:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/01/msg00055.html
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=644254

But reading 
http://www.thelins.se/johan/2008/12/environmentally-friendly.html
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/SCIM
BOTH may be needed.

If so major updates for many IM and im-config is needed.

Please elucidate me on this subject.

Thanks in advance,

Osamu
