Re: Failed to open input method

["Thomas Chadwick" <j_tetazoo at hotmail dot com>]

The "Could not init font path ..." error is in the FAQ:

http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-removing-font-path-element

Don't know if the "Xlib locale" business is a side-effect of the font 
problem, or something else.
