I think I've found how to do this and thus convert this report to a question.
start scim-setup, go to "Panel - GTK", choose Toolbar - Show - Never and tick Misc - Show tray icon. Maybe this should be the default setting? I'm not satisfied with the tray icon, though, as it does not indicate the input method status as uim did -> I reported this as a separate issue bug 304777 ** Changed in: scim (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** bug changed to question: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scim/+question/53351 -- SCIM - embed window in panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210955 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
