Utf8 Support In Gtk2

[Meanie]

Previously on beta1, I had scim installed and configured and was able to enter Japanese in Abiword. Now with beta3, scim still works because I can enter Japanese in mrxvt, but I am unable to enter Japanese in Abiword and I also leafpad which is another GTK2 application. So it seems the GTK2 libraries in beta3 don't support UTF8?

It works for me entering Chinese, using the Abiword that you built.

thanks for letting me know. now back to the witch hunt to track down why abiword and leafpad aren't behaving with scim...

PS: can you show me what you have added in your .profile .xinitrc in terms of IM support such as XMODIFIERS=im@SCIM?

Strange! I just discovered that my C1000@beta3 has the same problem. Not just leafpad or abiword, but the gtk-panel simply stops showing up at all in any gtk app.
But scim did work before.

I saw an error message and here is the screenshot:

It seems there was no such error when scim was running. Any idea?

Meanie:
What I did to .xinitrc is:

export XMODIFIERS=@scim
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
export scim &

And

gtk-query-immodules-2.0 > /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules


after installing scim.

Well, now i find it even stranger that the gdk locale warning show up in other GTK app launched from the terminal.

I am no expert at all but I wonder if this issue is somehow related to another problem of using jpilot under Beta3 (everything works under Beta1):

Just this in .xinitrc

Code: [Select]

export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
And I ran

Code: [Select]

gtk-query-immodules-2.0 > /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules

strange, I have the same and it does work under dillo, but not in abiword which is the only app that I care about

can you send me your global and config from /home/root/.scim ?

this is driving me nuts

I was suffering from the same problems ,
so I removed Meanie's GTK2 IPK Pacakge
and re-installed one from beta3 feed .
then I made X restarted and was able to enter Japanese in Abiword,Gtkterm2,etc...  
it seemed work fine,however,I had pdaXrom rebooted 5 minitutes ago,
I was unable to enter agein ...  
I wonder this is something wrong in gtk+2 libraries...

[ZDevil]

.... hmm I remember I realize this also with Meanie's modified gtk2 lib installed. Let me go back to the one in the feed and see how it goes.

good point, i will see if it works with the original beta3 gtk2 libraries, then recompile them if that's the cause of the problems..

FWIW I'm using the original beta3 gtk2 libs.

In my case, I appended the following lines in /eyc/sysconfig/locale instead of .xinitrc file. Everything works well even in qt applications.

export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim

yep, the beta3 gtk2 lib work. once i reinstalled them, scim works in gtk2 now. now all i need to do is recompile gtk2 again with beta3 gcc image and add my hacks back in
