As I've said on IRC, version 1.4.7 is supposed to fix a big part of this
problem.

I've been using scim 1.4.7-1, with /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic as false, XIM
mode, and over-the-spot style for quite some time.  In the past few
weeks, I've only encountered one keyboard input lock-up, and I'm not
even sure it's scim's fault.

So I got curious (since there are many Ubuntu bug reports saying the
lock-up is quite frequent) and started playing with my scim settings.  I
finally found out that such lock-up seems to happen much often with
on-the-spot style.  This seems also related to the "Nautilus breaks on
several places and can't input anything" bugs (for example [1]), as I've
never had problem before with nautilus, but seem to be able to reproduce
them with on-the-spot style.

So manphiz, have you been experiencing this bug with 1.4.7-1?  And what
input style are you using?  You can check in the scim-setup window, by
"FrontEnd -> Global Setup -> Embed Preedit String into client window"
item.  Can you test the other style to confirm my conclusion?
