Hi Ming Hua, from what I read I can only say I have the same symptoms over here for more than two years. See for example #405393, something what for me now can not be attributed to SKIM but rather to SCIM as I removed skim long time ago.
Please tell me how I can support you by giving data. I'm using unstable, kde, scim as daemon, pinyin-input, locales: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=de_DE:de:en_GB:en LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 ~$ set | grep XMODIFIERS [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~$ set | grep GTK_IM_MODULE GTK_IM_MODULE=xim Things that stop working often are: konsole, after 2-3 hours of work, kopete (kde messenger) after 20 - 60 minutes, Java apps after 15 minutes, kde screensaver 4 out of 5 times (Alt-F1 to console, kill kde-screensaver...). All these values are highly subjective. What helps is restarting the app in question. Funnily enough like said above is that "system" keys like alt-... and menu keys still work. SCIM will never stop talking keys (as long it can be started, as this key will be "eaten" as well). Why do I think it's SCIM? The problem startet after using it by default and nobody else I know not having SCIM installed has these problems. Again, i will thankfully supply data once you tell me what can help Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
