Bug Description

Binary package hint: scim

I have configured Chinese as a second language using Administration > Language Support and enabled the "use input method engines ..." option but so far I have been unable to switch to Chinese.

According to some information I'm reading on the web I should have a keyboard icon on my bar at the top of the screen. I don't see the keyboard but there is a keyboard preferences applet which displays "USA" on the toolbar. I can right-click on this and click Groups which opens a sub menu showing "USA" and "China". Clicking "China" has no effect.

Also the keyboard shortcut for switching (ctrl-spacebar) has no effect.

I've tried uninstalling scim and then specifying Chinese again but this didn't help.

I'm running ubuntu 9.04.

Oh wait. Minutes later I realize that the problem HAS been fixed. I'm not totally sure if the upgrade to 9.10 fixed it over if it was something else I've done (probably the upgrade). I wanted to note that I still don't see the expected keyboard icon at the top etc. But the keyboard shortcut does switch to the Chinese input method. Yippeee.
