clone 427519 -1 -2 -3
retitle -1 The Chinese/English/Simplified/Traditional button doesn't preserve 
user choice
severity -1 normal
retitle -2 U+3007 (Ideographic Number Zero) not included in the candidates for 
pinyin "ling2"
retitle -3 /usr/share/scim/pinyin/special_table should use Unicode characters 
instead of codepoint numbers through the whole file
thanks
