Well please read official wiki at http://uim.freedesktop.org/wiki/CustomizeUIM | You can customize the behavior of uim in 2 ways. | | * GUI tool (uim-pref-gtk or uim-pref-qt) | * editing ~/.uim | | uim-pref-* write the configuration into ~/.uim.d/customs/. ~/.uim | overrides it. If you use uim-pref-*, make sure the contents of ~/.uim | doesn't conflict with ~/.uim.d/customs/. Thus what we does work. But it is not elegant enough and is not compatible with new GUI uim-pref-* tools. > > Are you still experience problem?

I think it is OK to discuss with us for the design of im-switch here thus I keep this bug here. But please understand the actual "buggy" codes per your assessment are not in this package. They are example. > The ~/.uim file is created by im-switch, using a script called > /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/uim_anthy. This script is far too > complicated.

This web page is well written, thanks. You do not need to be root to set up like you did if you are fixing for one user. im-switch has 2 modes, user and root. In user mode, you copy uim-anthy to ~/.xinput.d and edit. Run "im-switch -s uim-anthy" to point to user one. New -l comand should tell you did OK. See my new documentation in README.Debian(unstable). I think what Muto-san did with this uim start up code was to chenge $ENGINE in .uim file. A bit complicated since he uses TEMPFILE. If I were him, I would use "ed" script to do the same. Either way, it will be hard to read. But most elegant solution may be to write schime code which read im-switch set up from environment variable or a file or use the same mechanism as new uim-pref-* tools. Let me think a bit on this. By the way, as for SCIM, you can narrow down input method choice from configuration menu (left-click on SCIM tool bar to get it). Then you can scroll through IM by pressing shift and ctrol together and release one of it. Depending on which key to be released, it rolls through selection in oposit way. So if you are chosing Japanese-European only, you can do it just with this. I guess, having one selectable main IM and sub IM will be nice feature. You may ask upstream for that.
