I am using scim for entering Chinese text. When trying to get scim to work, I found various tips saying the following environment variables should be set: export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim export QT_IM_MODULE=xim With these set, scim works in all applications I tried. But the GTK_IM_MODULE=xim seems to cause a conflict with Inkscape. On https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/406036 I read that unsetting that variable would help, but it doesn't - the crash still happens (although only on attempting to leave the text area, by clicking somewhere else - it's actually possible to type something before the crash). But when setting GTK_IM_MODULE=scim Inkscape doesn't crash. So, since GTK_IM_MODULE=xim was my own doing, this is probably not a bug that many others will experience. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
