Attached Patch allows WinForms controls to get preedit notifications (by
overriding WndProc) when mono is run with  MONO_WINFORMS_XIM_STYLE=on-the-spot
mono

Changelog from attach patch:

2009-11-20    Tom Hindle <tom_hindle at sil.org>
    * XplatUIStructs.cs: Added user messages WM_XIM_PREEDITSTART, 
    WM_XIM_PREEDITDONE, WM_XIM_PREEDITDRAW, WM_XIM_PREEDITCARET
    * X11Keyboard.cs: Changed preedit callbacks to emit WM_XIM_* messages
    * X11Structs.cs: Added XIMFeedbackStruct and XIMFeedback enum.



Here is some sample code which make use of this feature:

/// <summary>
/// Proof on concept implementation of a user defined TextBox that does
on-the-spot 
/// input method editing.
/// There is a number of know flaws - eg. doesn't end preedit when user moves
cursor with mouse.
/// Need to run with MONO_WINFORMS_XIM_STYLE=on-the-spot mono
/// </summary>
public class OnTheSpotTextBox : TextBox, XIM.IPreedit
{
    // store text before preedit.
    string backup;

    #region IPreedit implementation
    public int PreeditStart (IntPtr clientData, IntPtr callData)
    {
        Console.WriteLine ("PreeditStart");
        backup = Text;
        return 100;
    }

    public int PreeditDone (IntPtr clientData, IntPtr callData)
    {
        Clear ();
        AppendText (backup);
        return 0;
    }

    public int PreeditDraw (IntPtr clientData, IntPtr callData)
    {
        XIM.PreeditDrawInfo info = new XIM.PreeditDrawInfo (callData);
        Console.WriteLine ("PreeditDraw PreeditDrawInfo {0}", info);
        if (info.ChangeLength > 0) {
            Clear ();
            AppendText (backup);
        }
        if (info.Caret > 0) {
            AppendText (info.Text);
        }
        return 0;
    }

    public int PreeditCaret (IntPtr clientData, IntPtr callData)
    {
        XIM.PreeditCaretInfo info = new XIM.PreeditCaretInfo (clientData);
        Console.WriteLine ("PreeditCaret PreeditCaretInfo {0}", info);
        return 0;
    }

    protected override void WndProc (ref Message m)
    {
        switch (m.Msg) {

        case         /*WM_USER*/0x400 + 0x1d00:
            // WM_XIM_PREEDITSTART
            // The WParam value identifies what is occurring.            
            PreeditStart (m.WParam, m.LParam);
            break;
        case         /*WM_USER*/0x400 + 0x1d01:
            // WM_XIM_PREEDITDONE
            PreeditDone (m.WParam, m.LParam);
            break;
        case         /*WM_USER*/0x400 + 0x1d02:
            // WM_XIM_PREEDITDRAW
            PreeditDraw (m.WParam, m.LParam);
            break;
        case         /*WM_USER*/0x400 + 0x1d03:
            // WM_XIM_PREEDITCARET
            PreeditCaret (m.WParam, m.LParam);
            break;
        }
        base.WndProc (ref m);
