I had $ echo $XMODIFIERS @im=SCIM $ echo $GTK_IM_MODULE scim
Then I tried this $ export XMODIFIERS= $ export GTK_IM_MODULE= and all data frame editing functions are working. I don't know where the bug lies (SCIM itself? SCIM misconfiguration on behalf of Ubuntu?), but at least for my case I have found the cause and a workaround. The bad part is that everytime I login those variables are again set to the bad values. -- unable to open X Input Method https://launchpad.net/bugs/48168 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
