Right, but I was replying to Christian's comment about adding something to localechooser to do such a thing, and I feel that unnecessary. > I found out in the meantime, that the Live CD uses gtk-immodule and that > SCIM is available via the context menu under the Input Method entry. > However, I think that the average newbie won't be able to find that on > his/her own.

I agree it's tricky to support input method for both Live CD and the installed system, and need its own discussion. But it's probably not what Christian proposed, by running im-switch in localechooser (does Ubuntu Live CD install use localechooser at all?).
