hello all,<br>
<br>
First thank you for all this work, I use scim since about 1 year, scim
is really great.<br>
I have problems now with scim 1.0.1 that are likely to be related with
a recent upgrade to x.org x11r6.8 on my gentoo box, i could not find
something about it reported anywhere, please forgive if these problems
are already known.<br>
<br>
The related installed packages on my system are the following :<br>
xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1<br>
scim-1.0.1<br>
scim-chinese-0.4.2<br>
scim-tables-0.4.3<br>
scim-m17n-0.1.3<br>
<br>
The first problem is that scim fails to load the x11 frontend module.
here is the output :<br>
<i><tt><font color="#3333ff">phil@citronelle /home/phil $ scim<br>

</tt></i><br>
Anyway, loading with the socket frontend module is all right, with the
following command :<br>
<font color="#3333ff"><i><tt>phil@citronelle ~ $ scim -f socket<br>
[...]<br>
</tt></i></font><br>
After that, I export the following variables in the terminal from which
I wish to launch applications where scim is enabled :<br>
<font color="#3333ff"><i><tt>LANG=fr_FR<br>
LC_ALL=fr_FR<br>
LC_CTYPE=zh_CN<br>
KDE_LANG=fr_FR<br>
XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM<br>
export LANG LC_CTYPE KDE_LANG XMODIFIERS</tt></i></font><font
color="#3333ff"><i><br>
</i></font><br>
Most of the applications load successfully then, except the following
ones for now :<br>
<br>
abiword does not crash but stops after splash screen and displaying
this message :<br>
<tt><font color="#3333ff"><i>phil@citronelle /home/phil $ abiword-2.0<br>
SCIM: im_module_init<br>
free(): invalid pointer 0x86b94a8!<br>
free(): invalid pointer 0x86b9480!</i></font><br>
</tt><br>
gnome-theme-manager stops after just displaying "SCIM: im_module_init"<br>
<br>
gaim crashes while double-clicking on a buddy to chat with.<br>
<br>
best regards, hope that helps,<br>
