I don't think so. I think the TK_USE_INPUT_METHODS is for supporting
languages which use special X input methods---specifically Japanese.
So there's probably some reduction in functionality, but I'd guess
many non-ASCII characters would continue to work OK. (Work in the Tk
sense, anyway---I've no idea how much gdb works with non-ASCII
characters.)
Judging by the comments in comp.lang.tcl, I'm not sure how much this
was ever tested by the Tcl guys, so it's possible that it was broken
anyway.
