SCIM-Anthy behaves suspiciously in MozillaFirefox after playing back
Flash Movies.

[Environments, in which I confirmed reproductions]
- - openSUSE 10.2 i386/x86_64
- - SUSE Linux 10.1 i386

- - MozillaFirefox, flash-player and scim/anthy related packages are all
updated with packages in 'Build Service' repositories.

[How to reproduce]
1. Play back Flash movies -- for example, YouTube -- in Firefox.
2. Open a new tab and open a URL which includes writable textarea.
3. Launch SCIM-Anthy and input some words in Japanese.
4. Press Space key for Kana/Kanji conversion.

Then you can see strange behaviors -- for example, inputed words
suddenly disappear.

I don't know what this is caused by, but I found a workaround by using
scim-bridge.

[Workaround]
1. Download scim-bridge from the site below, then build and install
normally.
# I didn't add any options when I configured.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=108454&package_id=185651

2. Add a line below to /usr/lib/firefox/firefox.sh.
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge

3. Restart Firefox.

...You may need to execute
  # gtk-query-immodules-2.0 > /etc/opt/gnome/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules
between 1. and 2. procedure, but I don't know exactly this procedure is
necessary or not.

To Mike Fabian:

If you can reproduce and confirm this, why don't you add scim-bridge
package to M17N repository?
