ok.

Tough call - I can't do that for long.

So far, I use my keyboard like this: The frequently used characters (eg.
umlauts, section, Euro sign etc.) are accessible without enabling a
keyboard method via pressing "AltGr" + some other keys. When I want to
write something in a foreign language, I activate scim by pressing the
right Windows key (I'm unfamiliar with the "real" terminology, sorry).

To activate scim, you need some environment variables set up before
running it. I have this in my .bash_profile

XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
GTK_IM_MODULE="xim"
QT_IM_MODULE="xim"

and this in my .xsession (I start X via "startx"):

export GDK_USE_XFT=1
scim -c simple -e 
pinyin,chewing,libprime,libprime-imengine-setup,m17n,pinyin,prime,rawcode,socket,table,uim
 -f x11 -d

after running xmodmap. The default activation sequence is
"Control-<space>". You can run "scim-setup" at any time from the command
line.

I once installed it "just for fun", and because I thought I would be
switching keyboard layouts with xkb soonish. Then I didn't find a way to
turn it off in the gkrellm configuration.

Nope - going to deinstall it, probably. Formerly (in Squeeze), when I
pressed the "AltGr" key, it switched the flag display from US to DE, and
back when I released the key. Now it just does nothing, except for
crashing when I press the "AltGr" key (just excercised it - works all
of the time).

I don't have a tray...


Kind regards,
