Scott, I am back at this again. I am able to switch between Chinese and two

What setting in fcitx might I be missing?
Well, I'm not the expert, especially at Chinese.
I do remember in an older version of FreeBSD, to get it to work in firefox,
I would use
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 firefox

from a terminal, and it would then work. I never figured out why (it worked
with other GTK apps such as libreoffice.  Hrrm, I don't think I tried in
Thunderbird.

Ah, also, in my .xinitrc (I boot into text mode then run startx I have,
above the line calling the window manager

export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8

Do you have fcitx-gtk2 and fcitx-gtk3 installed?
I repeat, I'm not an expert on this, my skill is in googling and finding
out how others got it done, then just copying that and summarizing it. :)


Thank you, tried that but no difference. I have temporarily deactivated Chinese 
and am just trying to switch between two western languages. Again, this works 
fine in a terminal session but not in any GUI program I tried, including 
firefox, thunderbird, geany.

I do have both fcitx-gtk2 and fcitx-gtk3 installed.

I suspect there may be some configuration setting I have missed but since there 
is no graphical configuration utility it's hard to figure out what might be 
wrong by just looking at the several configuration text files.
