Erm... you might want to consider to update to Etch and change your
locales to UTF-8 ones.
Then, you might want to consider using SCIM and im-switch instead of
xcin. Starting applications in a gb2312 environment is no longer
necessary, except you explicitly need to use such old legacy encodings.
Nowadays, everything works in a UTF-8 locale. And applications are
usually able to display multiple charsets altogether in a Unicode
environment.
Therefor, unless you have a really good reason to stick with such an old
system, I suggest you to update to the current 'stable' distribution and
use UTF-8 as default encoding. Then install the scim, scim-pinyin and
im-switch packages and it should work. if you need to input GB2312 in
your browser, switch the page encoding to GB2312 first before you type.
But UTF-8 should just be fine as most email clients nowadays are capable
of choosing the correct encoding for each mail.
Cheers
Arne
