I filed a bug (#65489) against gnome-terminal. But since I've seen input freezing in firefox and gaim as well, I am opening a new bug against scim.

I am using edgy, and scim under en_US.UTF-8 locale. Sometimes, I cannot type anything into applications, such as gnome-terminal, firefox and gaim.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure you are using scim. If you are not already, type "im-switch -s scim-pinyin" in a gnome terminal. Log out Gnome and then log back in.

2. Open a gnome-terminal.

3. Press Ctrl-Shift-T for 5 times in very short intervals, to have 6 tabs open in all.

4. If the gnome-terminal is still "alive" at this time. Type "exit" to close tabs one by one. You'll probably get a dead gnome-terminal when closing the second or third tab.

For me, it's a show blocker, because it's very annoying and causes work loss.
