From: Sridhar M.A. on 5 Jul 2010 08:00 I am currently running debian (amd64) testing with some packages from sid. It is stable for my work purposes. I frequently have to input indic characters and scim is my preferred input method. I have set the input method to scim using im-switch. I can only use it in gnome-terminal that too by right-click->Input Methods->scim. This does not work in OpenOffice or Iceweasel. On another machine the same set of packages gives me scim as the default input method for gnome-terminal, OO and iceweasel. My question, how can I make iceweasel, OO and other packages like inkscape to use scim as the default input method?

Yeah, I know that problem. Take a look at: /usr/share/doc/scim/README.Debian.gz which explains the whole situation in great detail. In particular the sections "Autostart SCIM" and "Helper packages" are relevant. Good luck Wolodja -- .''`.

The problem was I had to choose manually the input method in gnome-terminal and no way of doing it in iceweasel et al. I noticed that I had chosen scim as the input method using im-switch. The scim method sets GTK_IM_MODULE=xim whereas scim-immodule sets the same to scim! Changing that made gnome-terminal, iceweasel, inkscape to use scim as their input method. I still cannot get it to work under OO. Any suggestion is welcome.

This is on Debian Testing, Intel 32 bit processor. I can use scim on my KDE desktop without any problems ... almost. The only hiccup is that its applet does not start when I log in. This gives an option of switching to my last changed keyboard using CTRL+SPC only (since I cannot click on an applet to select a different layout). I have to kill its gtk instance which forces some auto restart in scim and the kde applet appears. Example, right now I have the following processes. I do not have the scim applet, but I can switch to the alternate layout using CTRL+SPC. $> ps uax | grep scim hs 2214 0.0 0.1 9964 1772 ?

Now, all that is well and good, but I am no sure why gtk related instance starts. So I poked around /etc files and found this: $> cat /etc/scim/global /SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_US.UTF-8 /DefaultPanelProgram = scim-panel-gtk /DefaultConfigModule = simple /DefaultSocketFrontEndAddress = local:/tmp/scim-socket-frontend /DefaultSocketIMEngineAddress = local:/tmp/scim-socket-frontend /DefaultSocketConfigAddress = local:/tmp/scim-socket-frontend /DefaultPanelSocketAddress = local:/tmp/scim-panel-socket /DefaultHelperManagerSocketAddress = local:/tmp/scim-helper-manager-socket /DefaultSocketTimeout = 5000 Perhaps the default panel program is the responsible for it. I wonder how to make it so that gtk related scim starts in Gnome but kde related in KDE only. Another thing that might matter is the following file: $> cat ~/.scim/global /DefaultKeyboardLayout = kconfig /DisabledIMEngineFactories = IMEngine-M17N-am-sera, .... <and so on: all the disabled layout in my scim applet> /SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_CA.utf8,en_US.UTF-8,fr_FR.UTF-8 Regards. -- Please reply to this list only.

Tho' I prefer ctrl+space as an access method. But I have it working in Japanese. I could dig out my "notes" if that would be any help. (I set it up a while ago.)
