I am still working out if SCIM can only depend on X, so people who don't use gtk2 can be happy with it, saying KDE. You know SKIM depends on SCIM, but people who just use KDE certainly don't want to install whole GTK2 (in such case it's just better than I have to install QT and kdelibs for some kde applications). James (SCIM main developer) said it can compile like that and as a library which could be used by SKIM or alike, however, I have never tried. May try it when home or you take it :-), I do not want to install the KDE anyway, :-) very happy to be a user instead of maintainer. > > | And can I here recommend another > | application "FCITX"(A Chinese input methods collcetion) to be included > | in Arch?

Only advantage that FCITX offers beyond SCIM or GCIN is its X dependency only, which makes it lighter and simpler, which is the meaning of its exist in my point of view. So if you ask if it's worth to be included in the extra, I will speak loudly Yes, please. You know not everybody using gtk2 and even many Chinese gnome or xfce fans use it to input Chinese. Its developer calls it "toy" because he writes it for fun, but in Chinese we call it "little tux".
