C-space is the default for this particular input method.  It is
configurable, but not by changing an XEmacs key binding.  Let me
repeat, XEmacs does not see that C-space key event with the default
behavior of the input method.

I've only ever used one input method, the Sun-provided one for
Japanese.  However, the XIM mechanism is a standard mechanism to allow
users to use arbitrary input methods under X to talk to arbitrary
apps.  I'm sure Linux has ways to use XIM input methods.  I just
haven't used any of them.  Sometimes the support is tenuous.  For
example, I think apps can talk to a canna input method server using
either XIM or using a canna-specific method.  The XIM interface may
not be provided standard with canna and require add-on patches, for
example.  Not sure about the details.

Ray> Bummer.  Any other Linux users out there interested in Korean input?

It's possible these packages will be easier to port to XEmacs once
they've been ported to the forthcoming Emacs/Mule merge. Of course,
porting patches are always encouraged.  Tomohiko ported canna (which
only provides Japanese, I believe) fairly easily.
