Bug Description
Binary package hint: emacs-snapshot
Cannot invoke XIM input method
When I press Control+space to invoke the input method
Instead of the input method invoked, emacs tell me no binding for C-SPC
I don't have this problem in a 8.04 box
My input method is fcitx
And I tried combination of emacs-snapshot-gtk, emacs 23.1 built from source, and fcitx, ibus
The following post described a similar problem, I don't know whether they are related

Hi. Yes, I have this problem too. As suggested in various things on the web, it is possible to work around this by launching emacs from the command-line with:
LC_CTYPE= "zh_CN. UTF-8" emacs
Some more detail on this:

I guess this affects a fairly small segment of the user population (people with English language desktops who need to type Chinese), but it's still a bit annoying that Emacs refuses to integrate with the desktop...
