Hello

I have seen we are still providing this input method... but it seems we are the only ones providing it (other distributions like Mandriva killed it years ago), and also looks dead since 2006. Additionally, this is relying on dead libs like libgnomeui, orbit, gconf, libglade... 

Are you sure we are still needing this?
