Utf8 Support In Gtk2

[desertrat]

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

I tried the above and it doesn't work. Is there anything else I need to do or require?

If I set
export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export GTK_IM_MODULE="xim"

or
export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export GTK_IM_MODULE="xim"
export QT_IM_MODULE="xim"
then SCIM doesn't appear in either gtk or qt apps  (normally when I start a gtk app scim autoloads).

If I set
export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export QT_IM_MODULE="xim"

then the result is same as just having
export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
ie it works for gtk apps and not for qt apps.

My understanding from previous posts is that for qt apps one needs the qt-uim package - but I'm not keen to use that as it has a limited selection of input methods. Am I missing something?

i use the following:

XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
export QT_IM_MODULE=scim

and it works in both gtk and qt apps

i use the following:

XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
export QT_IM_MODULE=scim

and it works in both gtk and qt apps

Still doesn't work for me   (gtk apps work but not qt)

From reading these threads, my understanding is that the bog standard scim does not work with qt apps - I'm using the scim stuff from the official feeds, so can I expect the above to work?

it should work. which app are you trying it on? make sure you got the scim packages and gtk2 from the beta3 feed and all should work.

it should work. which app are you trying it on?

Tuxcards and the kdepim stuff. With tuxcards I can right-click in input area and select SCIM, but no scim appears (scim is already loaded because I started abiword), I tried ctrl-space to make it appear but nothing happens. With ka/pi, ko/pi and pwmanager, right-click input area doesn't give an input method selection, and ctrl-space does nothing.

make sure you got the scim packages and gtk2 from the beta3 feed and all should work.

gtk2
scim
scim-pinyin
scim-tables

are all from the official feed.

The post I wrote is out of date. From beta3 you don't need patched qt because xwindow supports xim. Now I am using uim and everything works fine. Also I tried it with scim. It works well too. Here is what I did.

As a Korean, I installed scim and scim-hangul, and just added the following in /etc/sysconfig/locale

export LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=ko_KR.UTF-8
export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim

I loaded scim by adding one line "scim -d" in .xinitrc file. Then it works well.

Ah, good, glad that's cleared up.

I loaded scim by adding one line "scim -d" in .xinitrc file. Then it works well.

That's the trick, by "preloading" scim it now works
