Here is my cheat notes:

So, assume you manage to compile xvnkb from source and install
it to /usr/local/lib as root, or to your homedir $HOME/lib

XFree86 & xterm:

         If you have xterm came with XFree86 4.0.3 and up, then
	your xterm support uft-8.

         To check X version:
                 % /usr/X11R6/bin/X -version

         To chekc xterm version:
                 % /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -version

         To really see if xterm has utf-8 support:
                 % xterm -help
         and look to see if it has an option for:  [-/+u8]

VIM:
         VIM 6.x support utf-8, check by:
                 % vim -h
         and look for:
             -H                   start in Hebrew mode
             -F                   start in Farsi mode
         if they're there, your vim support multibyte.

         If not, you will need to get the latest VIM package or
	recompile VIM yourself

Launching:

         Add the folowing to your .profile

                 # for edit Viet with uft-8 encoding

                 if [ -f /usr/local/bin/xvnkb.so ] ; then
                         export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/xvnkb.so
                 fi
                 if [ -f $HOME/lib/xvnkb.so ] ; then
                         export LD_PRELOAD=$HOME/lib/xvnkb.so
                 fi
                 export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
                 alias vnterm='xterm -u8 -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-c-0-iso10646-1 -e vim &'

         Then add the below to your .vimrc
                 set encoding=utf-8

         Now you should be source your .profile and launch an xterm for
	use with xvnkb

                 % source .profile
                 % vnterm

Cheers!
