Good, good. Exactly the situation I know the workaround for. :-) What you really need to do is only change the /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic option in your ~/.scim/config to true. However it's a little tricky as scim always rewrite its configuration files on exit. So I give the following complicated procedure for the workaround: 1. Set scim not to start automatically: run "im-switch -s none". Log out and re-login. 2. Edit your ~/.scim/config configuration file, change the /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic option to true. 3. Reset scim to start automatically: run "im-switch -s scim-pinyin". Log out and re-login. Now there shouldn't be keyboard input lock-up anymore. However this breaks deadkeys used in a lot of European keyboard layout. Although if you only need to input Chinese and English, deadkeys should not be a concern to you. Please report back whether this workaround works for you or not. Thanks.
