Comment 7 for bug 573103

Exactly the same problem with up to date Lucid and .scim has been renamed.
The same SCIM messages are filling my log.

Well, 5 persons have reported the same problem and every question has been answered,
The report still remains incomplete after 6 months and the priority has been set to low...

Language support says SCIM is required for characters needing several keystrokes.
But dead keys and the compose key were working here long before SCIM was born.
I'm not even supposed to use SCIM, I chose the recommended ibus.

May we uninstall SCIM safely and how? Is it needed beside very complex typing?
