i, I've been trying to find something on the lock-ups that occur in openoffice.org in a Japanese environment when using kinput2. This happens on a current cooker [as well as on 9.0, actually]. The problems occurs as follows: Start openoffice.org and select a font capable of displaying Japanese. Hit shift-space in order to activate the input method editor and type something in, say, "hiragana" without the quotes. Then hit ctrl-w twice to bring up the candidate selection window, press the right arrow key once to choose a candidate and hit enter twice to confirm that candidate. That should be enough to cause problems with OOo, namely possible lockups, some keys don't seem not to work, others don't work as expected, etc.
Anyway, what I seem to have found as a solution is to append the following to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Kinput2 *SeparateConversion.input: false *selectionShell.input: false *auxShell.input: false Japanese speakers can find this in: http://openoffice-docj.sourceforge.jp/document/faq/us_linux.html and suse seems to have been aware of this for quite a while: http://lists.suse.com/archive/m17n/2002-May/0055.html Now, my question to Pablo and those that use kinput2 regularly is whether this is an acceptable solution. It means that the kinput2 candidate selection window never receives the keyboard focus, so that the arrow keys don't work anymore when selecting candidates. Instead, one has to use ctrl-w to cycle forward or to use the mouse. Unless anyone objects vociferously, I recommend adding this to the app-defaults/Kinput2 file in order to make ooffice usable again with kinput2. Narfi.
