(n.) The architecture of an input method ( IM ). The front-end input method has two separate connections to the X server . Keystrokes go directly from the X server to the input method on one connection and other events go to the client connection. The input method is a "filter" that sends composed strings to the client. Synchronization is necessary between the two connections.
