Well, can you explain more details how it works? right now all xinput scripts such as scim, uim etc etc is put under /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d and symlinks for alternatives as well. are you suggesting to just replace /etc/X11/xinit/xinit.d/default to /etc/X11/xinit/xinputrc? i.e. alternatives --install /etc/X11/xinit/xinputrc xinput-default /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim 81?

Yes, what I want to say was that the bahavior is based on current one and looking ll_CC thins up will be removed. -- Akira TAGOH
