OK, that means something changed in RedHat between 6 and 7 that somehow
affects the X Input Methods stuff.  Perhaps the XFree86 bumping?  Change
of headers?  Unfortunately, I don't have a RH7 install yet, but I'm
cc'ing a couple RedHat guys to see if this rings a bell.

This is the eucJP -> euc-jp tclUnixInit.c mapping, or the locale
patch that was made for 8.3.2 already?
