I've played a bit around, especially with the input methods since they
are easier to see.
(I use kconfig and scim-panel-kde.)
Setting the values and clicking Ok, Apply does not change anything.
Running now scim-config-agent --reload, reloads the modules but doesn't
change anything menu wise in skim.
Then I tried to restart skim. There is _no_ option in the kicker applet
nor in the scim configation dialog. What I had to do was: (a) adding the
reload icon to the symbol bar and (b) enable scim. Then I could click on
the reload bar which caused skim to crash and prevented any further
keystroke.

Something similar happens if I dare to click on Exit in the kicker app.

Set data success.

Configuration reload request has been sent to the running scim.

Control+Alt+Shift+space


Hmm, ctrl-space still activates the mode, but shift-alt-space does now
as well; but the skim config had still the old option (ctrl-space and
shift-space, the latter never worked for me). (Changed that but didn't
hit reload 'cause I don't want to restart X11.)


ps shows by the way these processes:
skim
/usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-helper-manager
/usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-launcher -d -c kconfig -e all -f socket --no-stay
/usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-launcher -d -c socket -e socket -f x11

Hmm, better would be some methode to disable it which leaves the keys
untouched.

Well, does not seem to work; but I actually didn't try reload in skim ...

Well, I actually ment what happens when you click on the "中" button and
toggle it. But thanks to make me fully understand how half/full symbols
work.

Well, I ment the hexencoded number shown in the unicode charts at
http://www.unicode.org/charts/ since I saw somewhere the decimal version
of it (Word or OpenOffice, I forgot).

I don't see it in the moment, maybe it was the gnome version which I
think I had at one point (I think I clicked exit in the kicker app and
then I had suddenly two kicker apps, one of which was seemingly the
gnome version.')
