As a reminder for myself, here are all the steps necessary to reproduce the problem: sudo apt-get install scim mkdir -p ~/.scim echo "/SupportedUnicodeLocales = $LANG" > ~/.scim/global export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM" export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim killall scim-launcher scim -d gnucash Then the backspace key and left/right arrows don't work in the account register.
