I know this "scim-bridge" is alternative to "scim" but less tested. We can have it too but this is not about replacing "scim". This is different issue from the ones we are discussing for GTK_IM_MODULE=xim or GTK_IM_MODULE=?????. I think simply offer an additional im-swich configuration file for scim-bridge while setting GTK_IM_MODULE=xim along the same thought as others should be a good idea. Of couse, alternative priority will be lower. We can always change it to direct GTK_IM with one mouse click :-) Osamu PS: Excuse me for slow response. I had broken smarthost issue with my ISP changing DNS aliasing and exim SMTP AUTH has some quarks. PPS: I may do another upload of scim/uim packages soon. Omote-san, please allow me NMU again.
