I've found in my computer the same problem after a clean install of Kubuntu 8.04 and add the Scim/Skim stuff for being able to write down Chinese. I'm able to write down Chinese with Skim en kde/gtk applications, but not accented characters of my Spanish locale in kde applications (can do it in gtk ones). The same system with Kubuntu 7.10 there wasn't any problem.
For me it was a solution change in the file "/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim" the lines to: (Originally, I had already changed from XIM to "scim-bridge") GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" QT_IM_MODULE="scim" Now, after reboot, it is working as expected as it did back in Kubuntu 7.10. -- KDE: Scim & Accented characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77168 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
