Hello
My intent was not to start a war about the merits of acrobat reader or
realplayer over their open source alternatives. One of the reasons why I
am a linux user is that I appreciate the freedom of choice for which
applications I use, and I have been wondering for quite a while
acroread7 and real player were just crashing at start-up.
As for the solution to this problem, I don't think it is necessary to
script aliases, a warning on install should probably be enough.
greetings

in the end this is because they come as binaries and not opensource to be
compiled
there exist powerfull alternatives in opensource:
for pdf i use kpdf and for radio streams from net i use kmplayer (xine,
mplayer and gstreamer in one app)

you mean the disabling of scim?
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim acroread
?
the only way i think this would be possible is to provide profiles script
with aliases in the scim pkg, that must be run at boot that does
something like:
if [acroread binary exists] then do
alias acroread='GTK_IM_MODULE=xim acroread'
done
i'm not absolutely sure if this is the best solution. for example you must
tell the people to add this profile script to the global profile
execution.
any other ideas welcome,
greetings,
Damir (pkg maintainer of scim)
PS
please open a bug against this, to remind me, as i'm on semi-holidays now
and not spending much time with this things
