Hi!

I am not really a guru in this question. But what I know is:
This is a Xsun feature, when you using locale other than C, you will see IM window for input fields. When I used Sparc a lot, I also had such problem. There are two ways to disable XIM windows:
1. Application specific.
You could recompile applications to do not support XIM. For example, you could recompile gtk with --disable-xim option. I also recompiled nedit and xterm to disable XIM (don't remember how). Most of GTK application have a special command line switches to disable such windows. For example you could run mozilla by "mozilla --xim-preedit=none --xim-status=none". For some applications you could use X resources:
*preeditType:    none
*inputMethod:    none

For CDE you could disable the windows by removing the file: 
mv /usr/X/lib/locale/$LANG/Compose /usr/X/lib/locale/$LANG/Compose-

2. Xsun specific.
Here is a patch for Xsun to disable XIM windows:
ftp://ftp.simtel.ru/pub/Solaris/cyr-x11/x_lib_locale_ximhack.tgz

But, I do not have a chance to test it. And I do not know for which version of the Solaris this patch is. Only know the notes, these patches should be installed:

ftp://sunsolve.sun.com/pub/patches/
108773-18 - SunOS 5.8: IIIM and X Input & Output Method patch
108774-18 - SunOS 5.8_x86: IIIM and X Input & Output Method patch
112661-05 - SunOS 5.9: IIIM and X Input & Output Method patch
112662-03 - SunOS 5.9_x86: IIIM and X Input & Output Method patch

All time I've used first way.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
