Arne,

The problem with SCIM is that it only works on non-Thai locales. You may
try it again under th_TH.UTF-8 locale to see the problem people reported
here.

In fact, I have proposed a patch against libx11 in Freedesktop #16475 [1] to 
fix this. Just waiting for it to be checked-in. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem 
to happen before Intrepid release.

Thai XIM also has some pending bugs with UTF-8 locale: it rejects all combining 
characters, as my previous work in Xlib assumed too much about the multi-byte 
strings. (Only TIS-620 locale was available at that time.) And another patch 
has been proposed in Freedesktop #12759 [2] for this.

And finally, a minor bug in Thai XIM: it stops filtering input sequences when 
NumLock/CapsLock is on, as reported, with proposed patch, in Freedesktop #12517 
[3].

All the three patches are against libx11. So, you can safely assign this
bug to it, IMO.

All the patches are tested in my custom debs. [4] And I would appreciate if 
they get into Intrepid in time, and if Ubuntu help polish and push them 
upstream.
