Scim GUI Coming Up Automatically

[Jeremy LaCroix]

When I am using KDE 4.0.2, a SCIM icon comes up automatically by the clock. If I rightclick it and choose to exit it, it comes right back. I cannot get it to stay gone.

What's worse, while it's loaded if I accidentally press SHIFT+SPACEBAR, it changes my keyboard language. Due to the awkward way I type, I do this frequently and it changes my language repeatedly on accident and it's driving me nuts.

Not only that, I believe it's a Gnome/GTK app. Is it even supposed to be loading at startup under KDE 4?

Same for me in Gnome (hardy)

The "come back when exit" part has been reported and discussed in bug #199030.

Thanks for reporting. I'm marking this as a duplicate of bug #199030, since as I understand, the symptom experienced is part of the same underlying problem: that SCIM shouldn't be on by default for (non-European) languages for which it's not needed.
