kde input problem (scim bug?)
So far, I have gotten four laptops (DELL 610, IBM t23, TOSHIBA portege 4010, and one ancient HITACHI), although most of them are aged, they are still usable, at least they over-perform VMWare to run 2nd OS.
Now, I can install Linux, Windows seperately, and put one in each room in my flat. :-D So, I am in good mood, and decide to use Kubuntu on the IBM T23, as its Linux support is better than portege 4010 (with modem and graph accelerator).
But there is a weird and annoying problem I meet in kubuntu, i.e., when I set XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM", and use SCIM as XIM input method, randomly, some programs in KDE cannot get keyboard input. I believe it is due to the cooperation between kubuntu and scim, as I haven't met this problem before I use kubuntu.
Sorry that I have reported the bug to neither Scim nor KDE. I just replaced scim with fcitx. Although fcitx supports only simplied chinese, it is enough for me. Hope it can work well.

I think I have experienced the same bug when using Scim for inputing Japanese text in KDE. At first I only detected that I couldn't type certain "normal" characters such as ~ ^ ¨ ´ `. Then I realized that focus seemed to be lost when switching between applications (or sometimes even when just typing). It is extremely annoying, to say the least...
yea, cannot agree with you more.
Hope there are good alternatives for you. :)
