This is quite confusing.  I have testing input methods quite a bit on
X11, and have never seen this kind of crash with XFree86 before.  I
have seen this kind of crash on Solaris though, and a colleague of mine
tells me that some people have reported such crashes in some KDE
applications.

I will see about making this an option in a future version of Qt.  If
these kind of problems continue to be prominent, I most likely will
change USE_X11R6_XIM to be off by default, and turn it on with a
configure knob.

Thanks for the report. Let us know if you need anything else :)
