| GTK3 | 3.0 - 3.1.5 | https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645993 | XIM works badly. | Use im module | |
| Opera | 10.0 - 10.50 | Cannot input with IM | |||
| Opera | 10.50 - newest | OverTheSpot support in XIM is bad, Cursor Position never updated. On the spot mode position update is also far from perfect. | Enable On The Spot for XIM | ||
| Opera | 10.62 - newest | OnTheSpot in address field commit string will cause opera crash. | |||
| Pidgin | At least 2.6 - now | Status Window will process key event though im module has filtered the key. | Use Key snooper | ||

| KRunner | Since 4.0 | The alternative mode (Not the default one) cannot support input method. | Use the default input box based mode | ||

| Emacs | All | http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2012-02/msg00761.html (Not sure there is older report or not) | English locale (not sure for others) can not use input method. | Use CJK locale. This is because emacs set too many font for an XIM option which make certain XIM call fails. Using CJK locale is just a side effect and make it match less fonts. | |
