Comment 11 for bug 98890

OK, I finally worked out what it was. If you default locale is en_US,
then it won't affect you at all. This works fine by default. If
however, you are using anything else (such as en_GB.UTF-8 in my case)
then only the scim still works fine in scim mode (GTK, QT etc), but
appears to not work in direct XIM mode. My apologies Ming, you were
right, XIM is working fine. My global file had:

"/SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_US.UTF-8, en_GB.UTF-8"

The problem is the blank space after the "," causes the second locale
not to be recognised. Thus

"/SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_US.UTF-8,en_GB.UTF-8"

is needed. I guess it would be really helpful if there was some way of
having the relevant locale added automatically as for anyone outside
the US, running the automatic installation procedure won't finish off
the job. SCIM will run, but only accept input into apps where input
method is changed from XIM to SCIM. Further more perhaps SCIM could be
a bit more forgiving in processing the locale string.

Other dists (SUSE) seem to whack a whole load of locales in the global
file automatically. Thats why it seemed to be Ubuntu related. I'll
post this in the forum as I know others have has the same issue.

Cheers,

Ryu
