Re: [m17n] Input method not inherited in sub-shells on ssh?

Ok. I did some digging and prefixed XMODIFIERS='@im=SCIM' before running xterm and gedit. Worked like a charm. But it doesn't work with Firefox. Why? Another thing, if XMODIFIERS is exported using .bashrc, even then it doesn't work. The variable is set, but toggling the key doesnt switch the keyboard. The XMODIFIERS=... has to precede the command. Why is this? The .xim file also exports XMODIFIERS. So in what file should I export the XMODIFIERS so that it will be inherited? I am quite sure that this used to work in 10.0. Since upgrading to 10.1, Firefox is unable to accept Japanese input. Even when lauched directly from the panel. (Not from shell). Help! Abhay
