I've just tested Hardy Alpha6 and here are my comments about Vietnamese support:
- default keyboard is now US at boot, in Xorg and Ubiquity, thanks to Colin
Watson
- default GTK input method is "system" which still activate VIQR by default
because of the im-viqr.so im-module hint for "vi" environment
Here I can see two options:
- let SCIM be the default input method in GTK => it's definitely the preferred
long term solution (for Vietnamese and probably others too) but it sometime
requires tuning before being fully usable, especially when mixing different
locales/keyboard (eg Vietnamese with AZERTY), so this solution would require
more testing and would not be appropriate right before the Hardy release ;
- disable the hint for Vietnamese locale in the im-viqr.so GTK im-module so GTK
input will just use straight Xorg keyboard which is now US by default => it's
probably the preferred solution here since it would affect only Vietnamese
support and nothing else, so even in the case it would create troubles they
would be only ours. ;-)
