Package: scim
Version: 1.4.9-6
Severity: grave
Tags: l10n
Justification: renders package unusable

I installed scim to do Chinese input. As well as scim and its dependencies, I
installed scim-pinyin and scim-tables-zh and their dependencies.
I ran the SCIM setup utility. The trigger is ctrl-space. The input method
"Chinese simplified" is enabled. Smart pinyin is enabled.
I restarted X by logging out and in again and started the scim daemon by
scim 
-d.

I then expect to be able to switch into the scim input mode by typing ctrl-
space. But when I do that, nothing happens. Nothing. It just plain does not
work.

Presumably there is some inadequately documented procedure which has to be
followed to get scim to respond. The solution to this bug is probably to fix
the documentation. Though it would be nice if scim could notice when it is
being activated in a completely useless mode such that it will never do
anything, and tell the user.
