Either way it works for me, though. if you don't want to do
anything that described there - in particular xinput.d stuff
- and/or you need to use some languages on XIM without
logging out, you need to run/restart httx with the certain
locale before activating IM. it's a XIM limitation and
basically XIM does work on a locale only.

That's right. however it should work with even LC_CTYPE. so
you are missing something, I guess. please check if you are
running httx with the proper locale.
