Q1: Do you think this will be stable for some time?


If so, do you think it is worth to change ...

from:
The following command starts scim in daemon mode, using the simple con-
figure module, Pinyin IM engine module, X11 frontend
module:
      scim -c simple -e pinyin -f x11 --no-socket -d

 to:
The following command starts scim using the simple con- figure module
and X11 frontend module (these are defaults) while loading only Pinyin
IM engine module in daemon mode without using socket:
      scim -c simple -f x11 -e pinyin -d --no-socket  

(In my honest opinion, I think keeping all options and not-mentioning
defaults are good idea since things will change time to time and this
command is meant to be used in the scipt.  So the typing length is not
really a issue.  We should fix zombie process issue first.  That is the
real bug.)
