Try it and see. 

Computers, like people, can be tempermental.  Something might work for
one person, and not another.  I remember Stu Bouyer (you still here,
Stu?) a Gentoo developer at the time, mentioning that in Gentoo, you
needed the xim to make kterm work, but my own experience indicated that
it wasn't necessary for mlterm and rxvt.  (As mentioned on the page,
Stu prefers mlterm and I prefer rxvt so neither of us investigated it
very much.)

A quick netiquette note--this, and many other technical lists prefer
that you don't top post.  We've had too much wasted bandwidth arguing it,
but in general, on most tech lists, it's better to type your response
below what you're answering, as if it were a conversation.  (Others
disagree with this method, but on this list, the majority of members,
though not all, prefer it.)

A couple of quick web references, as you're new to Linux, that might be
of a bit of use (err, both of them are mine, but the listmaster likes
them) :)

Please don't take this as criticism. I'm far from a guru and have been
flamed (on this list and others) for my own mistakes.  Again, it's an
effort to welcome you to the world of Linux.  :)
