I can confirm this same conflict on Kubuntu Dapper. On KDE, to enable multi-lingual Indic language input, I need to install scim-tables-additional that has a dependency on scim, scim-gtk2-immodule and scim-modules-table. The already-installed skim package does not have the input tables.
Once I installed these packages, I could not start acroread or gizmo, or other non-KDE, non-Gnome applications. The workaround at the above link seems kludgy and inconvenient. I suspect that if packages are compiled with scim support, that would make things easier. Any easier solutions gratefully received. Thanks. -- scim acroread conflict https://launchpad.net/bugs/47787 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
