KDE applications do not work well with scim

[David Nemeskey]

Binary package hint: koffice

Some KDE applications just do not work well with scim. What I have found thus far are KWord and Kopete.

In case of KWord, say, I enter the word 図書館 (toshokan, library) twice, like this:
図書館図書館

Then, I press the undo button until there are no undos left (two times).

Then, press the redo button the same times. What I get, is
tttとととsとsとsとshとshとshとしょとしょとしょkとしょkとしょkとしょかとしょかとしょかnとしょかnとしょかnとしょかん図書館図書館図書館図書館tttとととsとsとsとshとshとshとしょとしょとしょkとしょkとしょkとしょかとしょかとしょかnとしょかnとしょかnとしょかん図書館図書館図書館図書館

Kate, for example, is working correctly.

Also, sometimes the word I approved in scim by pressing Enter just disappears, and is not written to the document.

In case of Kopete, I can usually enter a sentence without problems, provided I do not delete characters. However, after that, whatever I type becomes like to text above: kかtたnな (kKAtTAnNA, parts written with capital letter are kanas). I have to dismiss and make the scim window reappear before I can continue to type normally.

The error persists regardless of event flow setting (dynamic false or true). I have tried to use the scim-bridge im-module, but it did not solve the problem either.

This is a big showstopper for me. Please do something about it.
