Package: scim
Version: 1.4.4-7
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hello,

I have my environment usually set up like this:

$ env|grep -E '(LANG|LC_)'
LANG=de_DE.utf8
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_CTYPE=C
LC_TIME=C

I find that scim does not work if I don't have a locale setting like
"LANG=de_DE.utf8", while having a system standard locale of 'C', and it
also does decidedly not work with any of the LC_* variables set to 'C',
as you can see above. Unsetting those makes it work, but since I really
don't want to have changing file sort orders and the like only because
I happened to want to input some foreign-language characters, this
is a nuisance - this way, I have to select which applications I want to
use with scim, and create a wrapper around them that unsets those
environment variables. I would very much prefer to have an option to say
"ignore the environment and just take what I've configured with
scim-setup", or this be the default behaviour anyway.

Thank you for consideration!


Best,
--Toni++
