[ti-l10n] GTK+-2.4 Enhanced IM

If you're using Fedora 2, then you're also using GTK+-2.4.  The input
methods that come with GTK are out dated, unfortunately the GTK team
has stopped updating the input method modules and likely GNOME will rely
on another IM system in the near future.  Until then, the modules here:

http://yacob.org/gtk+-2.4-update.tar.gz

are enhanced in a number of ways.  You may install them from the /
directory by:

tar zxvf gtk+-2.4-update.tar.gz

any GTK+ based applications that you have open will have to restart
for the new modules to take effect.  Unfortunately, they have a side
effect where when they get reloaded, you application might crash.
A reload would occur when you change away from an ethiopic IM to another,
and then change back to the ethiopic IM.  This does not always occur
and so the problem has been hard to track down.  Be sure to save any
work before reloading an IM.

Extracting the tar will replace the original IMs on your system, but
back ups will appear under a "bak" directory where the IMs live.

cheers,

/Daniel
