Hello Mike,
here are answers to your request:
- Which scim related packages do you have installed? Check with 'rpm -qa | grep scim'.
scim-1.2.0-4
That is the only one?
Yes. In my yast "install and remove software" only scim is installed. I've left my DVD at home, but I could bring it to the office tomorrow and instll scim-m17m and skim.
scim alone is almost useless, if you have only scim itself installed, the only input methods you can use are the Compose support built into scim and the raw code input. If you want to use scim, you should install some input engines as well, for example scim-m17n and the dependent packages might be interesting to you if you like to try M17N-t-latn-pre as an alternative to compose.
you can easily try to start scim manually from a terminal and see if there are some error messages. Just type
scim
and see if error messages are displayed.
/home/guest> scim Smart Common Input Method 1.2.0
Launching a SCIM process with x11... Loading -c Config module ... Creating backend ... Loading x11 FrontEnd module ... Starting SCIM ... scim::FrontEnd: X11 -- failed to initialize XIM Server! SCIM has exited abnormally
If SCIM exits, it is no wonder that the compose support built into
SCIM doesn't work.
It is strange why it exits on your machine though, I have
no idea why at the moment.
