Ming, if someone would have been so kind as to explain to Gusty users how they 
could eventually solve their deadkeys problem and get scim to work (I'm sorry, 
but 
>Please follow up deadkey issues in bug #155780, thanks.
didn't solve anything, neither for scim nor for the deadkeys issue), we 
wouldn't have to maintain the SCIM page ourselves.

I'm far from being able to make a better judgement than you - but I know
only robinl came with a method that worked, and that after one week of
big regression, when we couldn't use our computer for the productivity
tasks we were taking for granted.

We all know it's not your fault, and it's quite saddening to see the
good work you do in Debian messed up by some anonymous Ubuntu main
developer.

The documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SCIM is open to
anyone to edit - and different inputs have already made the page more
helpful. Anybody able to understand the method you just suggested and
check it works in Gutsy will be able to edit that page accordingly - the
only important thing is that the explanation is easily understandable by
a newbie, with screenshots and such.

There was no alternative till you explained it to us, and during that
time we need to get our job done. I know you're on Debian, but for the
other subscribers, if this was a so well-known method, how come none of
the Gusty developers answered our difficulties in this thread, or,
better, advertise us that a major breakage would occur with scim in
Gutsy (release highlights are for that, not just for show)?

Anyway, thanks again Ming for spending time for us even though you're on
Debian. If none edits the documentation, I might do it again if I can
test that on another computer. For the moment, I'd rather keep things as
they are on mine, because one week of mess is more than enough.
