Description of problem:
Because in scim-sinhala "oo" produces ඔ backspace ඕ this can only do the right thing if the backspace key in an application like openoffice.org-writer will always treat backspace as "delete previous character", so backspace cannot be rebound to do something else

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scim-sinhala-0.2.0-2.fc6

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
In openoffice.org tools->customize->keyboard locate backspace and rebind it to do something else, e.g. launch about help.

Active scim-sinhala type oo

Actual Results:
ඔ "about openoffice.org" pops up ඕ

Expected Results:
not that :-)

Additional info:
Due to 217047 I've locked backspace to always generate the backspace event so this won't be visible in >= 2.0.4-5.4.8 at which point the problem will be that a user won't be allowed to rebind backspace.

Can't the sinhala IM act like e.g. the hangul one and give a little pre-edit area when the first o is pressed and just not commit that letter until the next keyboard event arrives and decide then to commit ඔ or ඕ ?
