Ming Hua, I don't know who edited the title of this bug report, but it has nothing to do with the bug I'm describing.

Here is an extract of my .scim/config (the whole file is attached if you want to have a look):
/FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic = false

I purposely deleted my .scim directory to be sure I would get the default. My previous file also had /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic = false

I'm under Ubuntu, not Kubuntu nor Debian.

I can confirm that it happens on any install I make of Gutsy, just following the steps in the description of the bug. Yhe problem isn't "SCIM breaks deadkey support when "/FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic" set to true", it's "SCIM breaks deadkey support when "/FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic" set to anything" (although I didn't try setting it to true).

I've set my keyboard layout to French in scim, it doesn't change anything.

I've got scim input only in gnome applications like gedit - there, if I chose French, I have access to the dead keys. However, any input without scim has got the dead keys borked by scim.

On another note, I tried activating scim for all application with im-switch -z fr_FR -s scim, but it seem it's not enough, even though it was enough in Feisty. Is there any new step to get scim working again in Gutsy (I don't consider being able to use it only in gedit as "working")?
