On Unix platforms, a status window is attached at the bottom left corner of the client window if the underlying host input method requests to draw its status.

In case of UTF-8 locales, it is always shown even when the user is only typing Latin-1 characters. It would be convenient for the users to provide a way to hide when unnecessary.

Probably the best way is to follow the settings in the underlying platform, such as GTk+.
