Hi Bert,
The LANG check you introduced in etoys.sh will break Indic m17n fixes because most Indic environments leave the locale as en_IN.UTF-8 or en_US.UTF-8 and then choose the most appropriate language for a given app. This is why I patched etoys.sh to use compositioninput if .UTF-8 encoding is specified in $LANG. Input encoding does not depend on language code.

But every Linux I know uses utf-8 now. E.g. German uses de_DE.UTF-8 and English uses en_US.UTF-8. Since I don't know what compositioninput does, I thought it better to restrict it to the languages you mentioned.
So, how would it affect the other languages?
I previously thought the encoding part of LANG referred to file names. I was surprised you thought it had anything to do with X11 input.
