This is on Debian Testing, Intel 32 bit processor. I can use scim on my
KDE desktop without any problems ... almost. The only hiccup is that its
applet does not start when I log in. This gives an option of switching
to my last changed keyboard using CTRL+SPC only (since I cannot click on
an applet to select a different layout). I have to kill its gtk instance
which forces some auto restart in scim and the kde applet appears.
Example, right now I have the following processes. I do not have the
scim applet, but I can switch to the alternate layout using CTRL+SPC.
$> ps uax | grep scim
hs 2214 0.0 0.1 9964 1772 ? Ss Jul01 0:02
/usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-launcher -d -c simple -e all -f socket --no-stay

hs 2221 0.0 0.0 9180 540 ? Ss Jul01 0:00
/usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-launcher -d -c socket -e socket -f x11
hs 17527 0.0 0.0 3860 776 pts/6 S+ 10:30 0:00 grep scim
Terminating gtk instance prompts the scim to give me its applet in KDE's
panel:
$> kill -TERM 2219
Now I can select whichever layout I want from the applet.
Now, all that is well and good, but I am no sure why gtk related
instance starts. So I poked around /etc files and found this:
$> cat /etc/scim/global
/SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_US.UTF-8
/DefaultPanelProgram = scim-panel-gtk
/DefaultConfigModule = simple
/DefaultSocketFrontEndAddress = local:/tmp/scim-socket-frontend
/DefaultSocketIMEngineAddress = local:/tmp/scim-socket-frontend
/DefaultSocketConfigAddress = local:/tmp/scim-socket-frontend
/DefaultPanelSocketAddress = local:/tmp/scim-panel-socket
/DefaultHelperManagerSocketAddress = local:/tmp/scim-helper-manager-socket
/DefaultSocketTimeout = 5000
Perhaps the default panel program is the responsible for it. I wonder
how to make it so that gtk related scim starts in Gnome but kde related
in KDE only.
Another thing that might matter is the following file:
$> cat ~/.scim/global
/DefaultKeyboardLayout = kconfig
/DisabledIMEngineFactories = IMEngine-M17N-am-sera, .... <and so on: all
the disabled layout in my scim applet>
/SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_CA.utf8,en_US.UTF-8,fr_FR.UTF-8
Regards.
