Comment 10 for bug 181300

Yeah, skim works fine for me for a long time now (because it is
correctly configured).

Currently there's two ways to get scim, skim, pinyin working under Kubuntu:
Way #1: Install Ubuntu first, and then enable Chinese and "complex
script input support", and then install kubuntu-desktop (then KDE
sessions will automatically have input methods by Ctrl+Space).
Way #2: Choose Chinese during Kubuntu installation (not after
installation). For Kubuntu 7.10, this will lead to a login window
containing broken Chinese characters. 8.04 Beta reportedly has solved
this bug. But all in all, I think way #1 is more flexible because many
people want to be free to switch system locale.

I also find Kubuntu/KDE's concepts extremely confusing: "Installed
Languages", "System Language", "Default Language", "Added Languages".
It should have a simple language-selector user interface as seen in
Ubuntu and Fedora: a simple list of available languages, with
checkboxes before them meaning whether a language is enabled (when
enabling a language, the system automatically installs it if it's not
yet installed). And if Chinese is enabled, the system automatically
enables Chinese input support. I think this should be the way
Kubuntu/KDE handles things.
