Package: scim
Version: 1.4.4-5
Severity: normal

Hello,

in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf I have:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "kbd"
        [...]
        Option "XkbOptions" "compose:menu"
EndSection

This allows me to type accented characters on a US keyboard by typing
Menu + accent, letter.  For example, Menu+' a  gives รก.

When I use scim with this default xinput.d setup:

  #
  # Use "X input Method" for all applications
  #
  # Per Ming's Documentation in SCIM, XIM Input Method is activated
  # not only for old X-applications but also for GTK and QT appplication.
  #
  # If a user wish to use, GTK Input Method, (s)he can right-click input 
  # area and select "Input Methods" and change from "X input Method" to 
  # "SCIM Input Method".
  #
  
  XIM=SCIM
  XIM_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/scim
  XIM_ARGS="-d"
  GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
  QT_IM_MODULE=xim
  
DEPENDS="scim,scim-anthy|scim-canna|scim-chewing|scim-pinyin|scim-hangle|scim-prime|scim-skk|scim-tables-additional|scim-m17n|scim-uim|scim-tables-ja|scim-tables-ko|scim-tables-zh"
  
compose just does not work.  If I right click on a gtk input area and
choose SCIM as the input method, compose works again.  Compose seems to
work with scim or scim-qtimm, but not with xim.

This bug is quite bad for me because I type a lot of Italian, which
needs the accents.

I've been reading #348893 where it says to use /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic = false
I tried, but it didn't help.


Ciao,

Enrico
