the configuration for scim to work for x apps (as XIM) is i think the same 
as with gcin or other IM's. (you have to export the vars (XMODIFIERS, 
LANG_* ...) to make X know that scim is the IM for XIM to be used). for 
gtk2 apps, this is not needed. and for qt it will not be needed after we 
update to qt4.

| compilation of kinput to use canna and vice versa that will run on a
| Linux that doesn't have an available package for it. )  I realize that

| but it's sort of the big fish in small pond thing.  :)

your site is very detailed and a good help for learners. once we have the 
new wiki up (the one cactus is preparing - mediawiki based) then i hope 
you will contribute hopefully some lines to the i18n pages i plan to 
construct. 

has nobody tried to make a package out of kinput2? i expecially like 
archlinux because every file of the system belongs to a package and you 
know (pacman -Qo) what every file came part of. this is not so, if you 
install from source directly. that's why i would prefer to have kinput2 
or other apps like this as packages and not installed from source. i 
probably will never use kinput2 regularly, but maintaining it would be no 
problem, if there is a need and the project is still under dev/maintaince 
and not running out-of-date (as you probably mentioned the so called 
"technical" problems. the biggest one would be if it would not compile 
with newest gcc or something like that)

thank you very much for this infos. 

greetings,
ダミラ
