According to a post in a Chinese Kubuntu user community, a correct way of configuring scim for KDE is:
sudo apt-get install scim scim-pinyin scim-tables-zh im-switch -y sudo apt-get install scim-qtimm scim-bridge scim-bridge-client-gtk -y sudo apt-get install scim-bridge-client-qt scim-bridge-agent -y im-switch -s scim Then edit /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim: replace: GTK_IM_MODULE=scim with: GTK_IM_MODULE="scim-bridge" replace: QT_IM_MODULE=scim with: QT_IM_MODULE="scim-bridge" On Feb 9, 2008 8:24 AM, Ziyuan Yao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Feb 9, 2008 8:10 AM, Ziyuan Yao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Now I have found a solution to this bug: > > > > Currently there are two distros that can make East Asian language > > input available to the user's KDE desktop as a tray icon if the user > > chooses/adds a East Asian language in his system, WITHOUT FURTHER > > CONFIGURATION BY THE USER: > > > > (1) Ubuntu, with which if you first add Chinese language support in > > its System > Administration and enable "Input of Complex Scripts" (now > > you will have the scim icon on system tray) and then install > > kubuntu-desktop and then log into a KDE session, you will > > automatically be able to input East Asian characters by pressing > > Ctrl+Space to activate scim (in Ubuntu's KDE environment, there is no > > scim icon on the system tray, but Ctr+Space still can invoke a SCIM > > input method); > > > > (2) Fedora 8 KDE Live CD, with which if you add Chinese language > > support in its Control Center, you will automatically see the scim > > icon added to the system tray.
