After that your new hotkey settings should be active. At least that works fine for me. Do you experience problems already here?
Changing hotkeys - at least from the commandline - works, enabling/disabling the input methods does not.
If I choose exit, it restartes but the hotkey does no longer work.
Better don't use that exit button in the scim-panel, as it kills scim. GTK2 and QT applications (which use scim via the input module plugin support) will restart scim, but old-style X applications which use scim via XIM will not restart scim. And such XIM clients like xterm, mlterm, java, (X)Emacs, ... will often hang if their XIM server is suddenly killed.
Ok. That is what I see.
Restarting everything scim related cleanly is indeed a bit difficult. I often have the problem that the scim-panel-gtk behaves strangely after a
killall scim-launcher; killall scim-panel-gtk; scim -d
often some buttons are missing or the fonts are too small. Killing scim-panel-gtk once again often helps.
Hmm, maybe a scim-restart script would be useful, killing skim as well.
I think I will stay with scim and try very hard _not_ to set options which require the restart of scim since this seems to cause problems.
There are options which do indeed require a restart and then it may become a bit difficult if you want to avoid to restart your X session (usually works for me though. But sometimes I need to kill and restart several times).
Ok. I'll try your advice on what to kill and what not.
Zhe Su, the scim author does a wonderful job with scim, although there are still some minor bugs, I think it is great already and a huge improvement over the input methods we used by default for SuSE Linux <= 9.1.
Yes, I wagely remember a user for whom I setup a Chinese input system; it was only for Chinese, more cumbersome to use and to setup and didn't look as sleek! Tobias
