Help with Chinese input

["Henry" <liu_henry5@hotmail.com>]

I have Debian 5.0.3 freshly installed.  I tried to add Chinese Pinyin input to the OS so that I can enter Chinese.  I tried following two web site below.  None of them seem to work for me.

 

http://wiki.debian.org/gnome-chinese-input

http://isis.poly.edu/~qiming/chinese-debian-mini-howto.html

 

The install seems successfully (no errror reported).  But ctrl-space does not have the input window popup.

 

any suggestion is appreciated.
