- enable uim-m17nlib.

This is disabled on purpose on request of Zhe Su (SCIM author) because scim-m17n is also available. scim-m17n works just fine and supporting m17n in uim as well is therefore not necessary and only makes it more confusing for beginners.

Then we should remove uim-anthy/uim-canna/uim-skk (or uim itself), because scim supports anthy/canna/skk.

We can remove scim-uim for Japanese, then UIM packages will be optional. Beginners will not be confused. (Mandriva's uim packages support m17nlib.)

I think scim-anthy and scim-uim-anthy will confuse beginners. scim-anthy is good enough for most users.

I agree to remove scim-uim from useability perspective, but then there would be people screaming about the regression on the latest version :)

SUSE installs scim-uim for the default Japanese input. I think scim-anthy is better.

No, scim-uim is not the only default Japanese input, *both* scim-uim *and* scim-anthy are installed by default.

SUSE 10.0 beta2 didn't install scim-anthy for Japanese. (Is it my mistake ?)

Might be. Anyway, it's already fixed on beta3. Takashi
