Comment 10 for bug 199314

Can we at least make it so shift+space doesn't activate it? I have a tendency to not fully release the shift key as I'm pressing space, so I too am accidentally switching to arameic keyboard layout mid-sentence. This has been driving me ape shit for a week now!

SCIM is an interesting idea, but I see several issues:
- Most people don't need it, so it should be an option.
- GNOME already has a capplet for this, so SCIM should just be an extension of that (for quick access).
- There's no way I can find to disable it. I removed it and had to remove ubuntu-desktop along with it!
- The default key bindings are absurd.
- The setup dialog is the most non-HIG compliant thing I've ever seen. It's confused, poorly organized, and badly worded.
- There's no need for that tray icon. What are we, Windows?

I think this should definitely be an optional thing for Hardy. At least turn it off by default!
