This is what I want. But how to let the xinput (kinput2) program "runs 
all the time"?
In my situation, I use xcin to input with traditional chinese, and I 
think the solution is the same with xinput or kinput2. I started gedit 
with LANG corectly, but I could not type words except English in it 
(that is, no xcin).

Can you explan the method more detail?
Thank a lot.
