Hmmm, OK, then that could fit in the localechooser finish-install script. Something like: "check whether scim is installed on the installed system and, if so, run 'im-switch -s scim'" > To all above comments from Christian: > I think it might be good, in addition to adding the language specific > IMs to their related language packs, to have one more task in addition > to the normal desktop one: > "international-desktop" which contains all above mentioned SCIM input > modules and basic fonts to be able to display all kind of scripts.

Interesting, yes. This could be proposed as a wishlist bug for an additional task in tasksel, that one being listed among the proposed tasks and not implicit like the l10n tasks are. > So, the "desktop" task, without SCIM, for those users who are happy with > their localized desktop, and "international-desktop" for those users, > who need global IMs and fonts on their systems.
