scim-tomoe: can't input recognized characters! (KDE)

Hi,

I'm running stock SL-10.1 patched with all relevant security and
recommended patches.  The default locale is en_US.UTF-8.

I started a konsole in the zh_TW.UTF-8 locale so I could input some
Chinese characters.  When I attempted to use the "Handwriting
recognition" feature of scim (scim-tomoe) to input a charater for which
I did not know the reading, I was not able to get the character from the
Handwriting pad into the target application (KDE konsole).  Clicking on
the character did nothing, nor was there anything else I could find to
input the character (i.e., there was no right-click menu, it was not
copied into the clipboard, etc).

Another issue: I was able to close the tomoe window by clicking the
tomoe icon on the scim toolbar.  However, I've been unable to open it
back up again since the scim toolbar disappears whenever the mouse
cursor leaves the Chinese konsole.  I was able to close the tomoe window
because the scim toolbar became visible and remained so after clicking
on the selected character in the tomoe window.  Also, selecting "Handwriting
recognition" in the skim menu did not open the tomoe window once it had
been hidden via the scim toolbar.

I started the Chinese console thusly:
  (LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.UTF-8 XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM konsole) &

So, my main questions are:

1. How to get recognized characters from the tomoe window into the
application?

2. How to click something on the scim toolbar when it disappears
whenever I leave the application window from which it had been started?

BTW, I found a web page which had a little info on it
(http://www.h4.dion.ne.jp/~apricots/scim-anthy/howto.html), but I could
find no other relevant documentation on this topic.

Any help would be appreciated!

Phil
