Hi,

It appears Scim uses an old-style GtkStatusIcon on the panel, which isn't encouraged for use in Unity. If you want the Scim icon back then follow the steps at http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/how-to-hide-or-show-app-tray-applets-in-ubuntu-11-04/ . We don't plan to add scim to the default whitelist.

SCIM is required for normal input by a large number of people in the world (particularly in far-eastern Asia).

This probably should be whitelisted; note that this needs clarification about the interaction with IBus and which is being pushed as the default.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

isn't scim deprecated by ibus nowadays?

[Duy Anh (myfanisuuuu)]

Can't in some religions. iBus is copy from Mac, which has underline in word. Scim not like that !

I hope some one will fix this bug soon.. I am unable to type in Tamil :-(

While, you could start session with desktop "Ubuntu Classic" (Ubuntu clásico en español), then you can view menu Aplications, Place, System, and so on.

But I can't choice esperanto eo-x-sistemo, I don't know.

[Michael Tsang (miklcct)]

I tried to use ibus, but ibus didn't produce the correct db for my ime table so scim is the only way to go currently.
