Done. It's recorded as Bug 105771.

If you have miniChinput properly installed and running,
and your current input focus is on a text field of an
application supporting the zh_CN (or zh_TW) locale
(e.g., you may use rxvt-2.7.6-4 of rh7.2,
rxvt-2.7.8 segfaults if miniChinput is running),
you should be able to toggle between 'Chinese input' mode
and 'ASCII input' mode with the Ctrl+Space keys.
When the input mode is 'Chinese', a small input window
should appear on your screen.

In Chinese input mode, the lowercase letters
are normally used for input and the digits are used for
selection. Though the exact rules depend on what input database
is being used, you should be able to get some Chinese character(s)
by typing "a1" while you are in 'Chinese' input mode in most
cases (pressing 'a' lists all matching characters (or words)
in the input window, while pressing '1' selects the first one).

Another popular IM is xcin, which is better documented and supported.
But I can't get it to work with XFree86-4.2.
