** Description changed: Binary package hint: scim in Jaunty, the "Smart Pinyin" Chinese input method of SCIM is missing. With the same scim-pinyin package installed, the easiest input method for typing simplified Chinese is missing. In Intrepid, the input method is shown when scim-pinyin is installed. How to reproduce: Go to System - Administration - Language settings and install Chinese input support. Also tick the box for using IMEs for input. - Restart the session, and start gedit. right-click on empty space and choose input method - scim. See that the list of input methods has 4 entries for traditional Chinese, none of them with the word pinyin (in English or Chinese) in the name. + Restart the session, and start gedit. right-click on empty space and choose input method - scim. See that the list of input methods has 4 entries for simplified Chinese, none of them with the word pinyin (in English or Chinese) in the name. Then install Chinese support on Intrepid. restart session, start gedit. right-click on empty space and choose input method - scim. Notice the input method for simplified Chinese whose name is written completely in Chinese. Notice that it is not present in Jaunty. Workaround: I downloaded scim-pinyin from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=108454 . I compiled it, adding #include <cstring> to a few files that did not compile on gcc-4.3.3 otherwise. After that I ran checkinstall, and restarted my session. The scim smart pinyin input method is now visible and works as on Intrepid. However, scim-bridge has stopped working; I only get this input method by choosing "scim" as the input method from the right-click context menu.
