Public bug reported: Install scim, and im-switch (in Kubuntu)
cd /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ sudo ln -s scim_xim default sudo vi /etc/environment add the following lines to the end: LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 Save, exit Start skim from K-Menu. Configure it to autostart (right click systray icon -> Configure -> FrontEnd/X Window -> checkbox "Start skim automatically hen KDE starts" Reboot machine Login via kdm The splash screen stops at "Restore Session". Click once on desktop to release the splash. KMenu->System->Konsole (Konsole starts with no windeco) ps ax | grep ksmserver, shows ksmserver. Either: 1) start kwin to get the windeco back 2) K->Logout->End Current Session, and relogin for everything to work again This is reproduceable for me, i.e., everytime I start, ksplash stops at "Restoring Session", and either I start kwin to continue, or logout and relogin. ** Affects: scim (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Using scim by default causes kwin not to start https://launchpad.net/bugs/49961 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
