Hi all,
Several issues related to IM are still remaining on 12.1 Beta.
Here is the status update.
1. IBus should be updated to 1.4.0
IBus supports GNOME 3 in the latest release, 1.4.0. IBus status icon is now well integrated to the toolbar displayed on the top of desktop. (I do not know its name)
In Fedora 15, snapshot version of 1.4.0 was shipped to support GNOME 3.
In order to update, we have to consider below: (a) Since libibus2 was renamed, some IM-engine packages must be fixed. (b) 1.4.0 requires newer glib; openSUSE 11.3 does not have it.
I am ready to submit ibus-1.4.0 to M17N. You can get it from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=ibus&project=home%3Aftake%3Abranches%3AM17N
May I submit 1.4.0 to M17N? Or any idea?
Already updated to ibus-1.4.0 in FACTORY now. The broken ibus-engines are fixed, too.
2. xim.d/uim is broken.
Tray icons are not displayed on neither GNOME 3 nor KDE 4. This simple script works correctly only on GNOME 3:
export XMODIFIERS="@im=uim" export GTK_IM_MODULE=uim export QT_IM_SWITCHER=imsw-multi export QT_IM_MODULE=uim uim-xim & uim-toolbar-gtk3-systray &
This problem is still remaining. (And the above didn't work well in my case, maybe it was executed too quickly, so I had to add some delay before gtk3-systray.) I guess it's a race at start up. Our script is included in xinit, and this might be too early. A sane way would be to start via XDG start desktop, but it needs a fundamental rewrite of the basic setup. So... as a quick workaround, we can remove / disable the check of uim-applet-gnome (does this ever worked with GNOME3?). Then basically a right toolbar should be selected in the script. And maybe we need to add some sleep before starting the toolbar, that is, something ugly like: test -n "$toolbar" && (sleep 3; $toolbar &) &
3. uim crashes while launching firefox
$ GTK_IM_MODULE=uim firefox cause segmentation fault at compose.c:633.
I cannot reproduce this problem on 11.4. So I do not know if this is upstream bug or not. (needs more information)
I fixed this now and already checked into FACTORY.
4. cannot input characters through IM in the search box on GNOME 3's "Activity" tab.
I reported to upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647707
I created a patch based on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621659 but it enables only direct input while IM is activated: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=gnome-shell&project=home%3Aftake%3Abranches%3AGNOME%3AFactory
It's still an open bug.
5. xim.d/scim exports GTK_IM_MODULE=scim although SCIM does not provide its GTK3 IM module
GTK2 applications such as Firefox needs this. GTK3 applications try to use another IM (maybe not xim).
This is still pending. Vincent thinks the patch is OK and I sent it to upstream, but got no response. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+owner@opensuse.org
