With the config I posted in my message, do you see anything obviously wrong there as compared to what you have? If yes, then perhaps your notes will help. As I mentioned earlier, the only thing I would like to have is make the relevant applet start depending on which desktop I log in. Other than this little problem, scim works quite well.

I'll do so and try to see what is different, but it was really the not working in OOo that struck me as potentially inconvenient. As I said, I use the keyboard from preference. My Japanese is only just the right side of non-existent, so I tend to switch from kana/kanji to roman script to kana/kanji while typing. I may not have time to do this tomorrow - and must get myself to bed now before I fall asleep at the keyboard. :-( But I'll do it in the foreseeable future.

Okay, thanks. There is no hurry though, so take it easy. :) -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.

On a newly installed amd64 Testing system, it was quite simple to get scim working in KDE. STEP 1: I installed the following packages: scim, scim-tables, scim-tables-additional (other tables may need to be intalled depending on what layout one requires), followed by the corresponding ttf fonts. If I started scim now (using "scim -d" command), I could get the gray keyboard icon on the KDE panel but no choice of input by left clicking on it. STEP 2: Next, based on http://lorenzod8n.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/setting-up-scim-on-debian/, I put these lines in my ~/.bashrc: #for scim export XMODIFIERS='@im=SCIM' export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" export QT_IM_MODULE="scim" Then I killed all the currently running scim process (list them by "ps aux | grep scim" and kill them all). Then I sourced the .bashrc file (to set the variables; you could also just relogin) from a terminal and restarted scim (from the same terminal) using: $> scim -d After a few seconds the gray keyboard icon appeared on my KDE panel and I was able to get a list of input methods by left-clicking on it. The surprising thing was that installing skim froze my logging in to KDE. After entering my password on the log in screen, the desktop never appeared, the login process appears to hang. I remove skim after that and was able to log in to KDE in the normal manner. In short, installing and running scim on Debian is just a matter installed scim, the relevant tables, the relevant fonts, and setting the three variables in ~/.bashrc and restarting scim in daemon mode. -- Please reply to this list only.
