Looking at the Debian package's bug reports, it appears that this was a deliberate decision.
The current policy is to switch to uim (generic) using im-switch, and then either chose the conversion engine using a gui tool, or set it by hand in .uim. I think I prefered the old way, but I can see how this is easier to maintain. >From the Readme.Debian --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Configuration (easy way) - im-swich package will do for you. Just type following and restart X session under the same locale. * Start uim without any toolbars: $ im-switch -s uim * Start uim with GTK systray: $ im-switch -s uim-systray * Start uim with GTK toolbar (recommended): $ im-switch -s uim-toolbar * Start uim with Qt toolbar: $ im-switch -s uim-toolbar-qt * Start no uim: $ im-switch -s none For more, read the im-switch documentation. - Use GUI tool, e.g., uim-pref-gtk which comes in uim-gtk2.0 to set up uim (choice between conversion engines etc.): Desktop -> Preferences -> Preference of uim Right clicking toolbar will also get you to "Preference". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- packaging error: uim_anthy missing in uim-anthy https://launchpad.net/bugs/70484 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
