Great.  One thing I just started poking around was how Scratch
actually gets executed when you choose it from the menu.  What would
have to happen is that the script executed from there (I presume
/usr/bin/scratch) checks the LANG environment variable (or call the
locale command, and when the result is either ja, ko, or cn (or
actually the value of XMODIFIERS has @im), it invokes the VM with
"-vm-display-X11 -compositioninput".

Then to the image, two changes to ImmX11>> keyboardFocusForMorph and
StringFieldMorph>> keyboardFocusChange.  There are some others that
implement #keyboardFocusChange: but I have not all understood which
ones are relevant to Scratch, and keyboard text input.

With those, and the change to recordPendingKeys(), it will be in good shape.
