Hi all, Several issues related to IM are still remaining on 12.1 Beta. 1. IBus should be updated to 1.4.0 IBus supports GNOME 3 in the latest release, 1.4.0. IBus status icon is now well integrated to the toolbar displayed on the top of desktop. (I do not know its name) In Fedora 15, snapshot version of 1.4.0 was shipped to support GNOME 3. In order to update, we have to consider below: (a) Since libibus2 was renamed, some IM-engine packages must be fixed. (b) 1.4.0 requires newer glib; openSUSE 11.3 does not have it. I am ready to submit ibus-1.4.0 to M17N. You can get it from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=ibus&project=home%3Aftake%3Abranches%3AM17N May I submit 1.4.0 to M17N? Or any idea? 2. xim.d/uim is broken. Tray icons are not displayed on neither GNOME 3 nor KDE 4. This simple script works correctly only on GNOME 3: export XMODIFIERS="@im=uim" export GTK_IM_MODULE=uim export QT_IM_SWITCHER=imsw-multi export QT_IM_MODULE=uim uim-xim & uim-toolbar-gtk3-systray & 3. uim crashes while launching firefox $ GTK_IM_MODULE=uim firefox cause segmentation fault at compose.c:633. I cannot reproduce this problem on 11.4. So I do not know if this is upstream bug or not. (needs more information) 4. cannot input characters through IM in the search box on GNOME 3's "Activity" tab. I reported to upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647707 I created a patch based on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621659 but it enables only direct input while IM is activated: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=gnome-shell&project=home%3Aftake%3Abranches%3AGNOME%3AFactory 5. xim.d/scim exports GTK_IM_MODULE=scim although SCIM does not provide its GTK3 IM module GTK2 applications such as Firefox needs this. GTK3 applications try to use another IM (maybe not xim). Any good idea? Is it OK? There are a few days for testing and improving 12.1. Let's find and fix problems as much as possible! -- Fuminobu TAKEYAMA http://twitter.com/ftake -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
