That means now we should to check why scim doesn't work correctly for you.
- Which scim related packages do you have installed? Check with 'rpm -qa | grep scim'.
scim-1.2.0-4
- Is scim running when you have started your X-session? Check with 'ps aux | grep scim', this command should list two processes called scim-launcher and possibly other scim related processes like 'scim-panel-gtk, scim-helper-manager, ...'
Yes: two scim-launchers.
- What happens if you type "Shift+Space" or "Control+Space"? If scim is running and working correctly, a scim or skim panel should pop up, showing the currently selected input method.
On the shell, I get just a " ", and on the desktop, I walk through the icons printer, network browsing, ...
- uninstall everything related to scim
Nono.
or
- add a file ~/.xim in the home directories of the users who do not wish to use scim with the following contents:
Yesyes.
export XMODIFIERS=@im=local # use "Compose" export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim export QT_IM_SWITCHER=imsw-none # disable input method switching in Qt export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
The second method is better in my opinion because you can leave scim installed and other users on your machine can still use scim if they like.
Thanks again for solving my problem! Cheers, Peter.
