Hi Aubrey,

Yap, I agree the feedbacks might not be enough, but we never can
meet all users's need... you know. :(
All locales except English (en_XX.UTF-8) still show iiim-panel by default.


I don't understand why UTF-8 is an exception. My understanding is that UTF-8 contains more characters than some other standard like iso8859-1 (Please correct me if I'm wrong), so it means a user may want to input Chinese/Latin when he or she sees UTF-8.
There is a group of user who want to read all characters correctly, but not necessary want to/know how to input Chinese. Having iso8859-1 only means many characters will not be properly viewable.

Hence if the user wants pure-English environment, then go ahead with en_XX.iso8859-1 or whatever with iiim-panel disabled.

Hi Fuyuki,

I believe the feedbacks you received are not enough.
All the other input method users except En would like to see the
panel by default.

Thanks,

It was based on the feedbacks we received.
We assumed majority of English users won't switch keyboard layout
and don't need to know/see the current IM status. Without iiim-panel
and IM trigger key, users can input Latin characters by Compose key
sequences. And users can change the behavior easily via iiim-properties.

Oh, I've just remembered a default change.
iiim-panel and IM activate/deactivate trigger key have been disabled
for English UTF-8 locales from 2008.11. This change applies to new users.
To enable them, use iiim-properties.

Fuyuki

iiim-properties works.

I wonder why this behavior is changed? To be more friendly to the EN-input
users while not to the others?

Thanks,
