No you didn't. It's the most annoying and confusing thing in Hardy 8.04 Alpha 6 so far. I am using English and Russian keyboard, and this is the first time they get it configured properly in the Gnome keyboard layout (System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts tab) automatically during system install. I could just sit back and relax but now all of a sudden SCIM applet gets in my way. It shows three different keyboards totally unrelated to Gnome setup. And while switching keyboard in Gnome works as per Keyboard dialog setup (and not SCIM setup unless unusual keystroke is used), having it informing me that I am using Raw Code Unicode keyboard is unnecessary and is confusing. There should be one single point for configuring keyboard and language preferences. The bottom line is, bury SCIM deep in the system as it used to be, and do not let user see or interact with it directly under any circumstances. Seeing garbage keyboards in SCIM and font changing to gibberish while typing can be frightening to unexperienced users, and it certainly turns me off. Hope this will be fixed with the next release. Also need reference to SCIM and how it works within the system to educate myself on the subject. I believe that everything is there for a reason, and if SCIM is included with Alpha 6 the way it is, I'd like to know the reason for that so that collectively we could come to better solution then just burying the whole thing.
