Package: scim
Version: 1.4.9-6
Severity: normal

Hi,

lately, scim has become quite unreliable in the sense that whether it's
working or not, has become a hit-and-miss experience. I start scim out
of my .xsession file like this:

scim -c simple -e 
pinyin,chewing,libprime,libprime-imengine-setup,m17n,pinyin,prime,rawcode,socket,table,uim
 -f x11 -d

But every other run yields only garbled characters instead of the
Chinese I attempted to write. In such a case, closing the session and
re-entering it frequently fixes the situation, and scim operation
returns back to normal. The problem seems to be related to disk
activity, so when I'm logging in after booting the machine up, anacron
and whatnot provide plenty of that, followed by a non-functional scim
experience. Sometimes, scim also silently crashes (didn't find any logs
- they should have been in .xsession-errors, right?).

May be related to #620391?


Kind regards,
--Toni++
