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?
