Answer to Sebastien Bacher: Problem summary: When choosing some Vietnamese locale like vi_VN, GTK is activating its VIQR input method automatically (because of im-module hint) which leads to unexpected typing (for most Vietnamese people, not used to this input method) and even loss of

Thanks for this! About which SCIM method to select, no problem. As soon as all required Vietnamese input methods are available, it's alright. I also think it's better to have no default for this for political reasons (classic North/South conflicts). ;-) The m17n 1.4.0 is not absolutely required,

Oh, and to answer Colin about console-setup (which is about console mode, isn't it?), in fact there are problems there too but far less important (IMHO) than in boot and graphic mode. This is because Vietnamese people are used to type without accents and so can deal with it if required. But
