Comment 8 for bug 98890

Ming,

Those applications are GTK or support input methods. The problem is
affecting only X server applications not running on GTK or QT
toolkits. It can be recreated in the following way:

1. Fresh install of Ubuntu. English Locale
2. Install SCIM using language support and input for extended characters.
3. Adjusting environment variables so that xmodifier is set to XIM
4. Running SCIM
5. Running xterm.

Note that in the normal GTK terminal SCIM will work fine. But xterm is
non GTK. This is where the problem happens. Although SCIM will seem to
be running fine, inputting extended characters will not work.

This has been tested extensively on a number of systems. If yours does
not exhibit these problems, could you tell us what locale you are
running in and post your SCIM environment variables too.

Thanks,

Ryu
