Recent SCIM fixes

After issuing a bug report about crashes in KDE programs when SCIM is in 
double-byte character input mode, I was told on the KDE bug list that the 
problem was between SCIM and QT, and learned that Mike Fabian had uploaded a 
fix. I then tracked down the updated SCIM and related components and 
downloaded them from the m17n repository.

This was a major bug, and the updated packages really do fix it. However, I 
wonder how many people even know about the fix, or have access to the updated 
SCIM. Is it going to be made available in the main repositories? (Or has it 
been by now?) What about users of other distributions? (The same problem 
exists in Debian-based distros, for example.) 

One problem I continue to have in KMail only, when using SCIM+Anthy. That is, 
after typing some Japanese, when I try to insert text in the middle of an 
existing sentence, most of the time nothing happens. The text simply does not 
appear. I have to do a line break to type it, then attach the latter part of 
the sentence to the new text. I wonder if this is really a KMail editor 
problem, or a SCIM problem, or an Anthy problem? (It doesn't happen in Kate, 
and I've never experienced it in non-KDE programs.)

Thanks again for the fix to the SCIM vs. QT problem, Mike Fabian. It has 
really made KDE usable again.
