My debian configuration is almost the same as yours as I apt-get udpate pretty frequently.
I tried to export locale to gbk or utf-8 respectively, so that the outputs from "locale" indicate everything is zh_CN.gbk or zh_CN.UTF-8; but neither works. The symptom is that I simply cann't activate XIM once in dia (of course I've tried various fonts such as SimSun, Arphic-Kaiti etc); I chose to insert some text, and it worked as long as I entered English characters, but when I pressed Ctrl + space, nothing happens? So I have two questions: 1. Is there anything special to be done before using dia with simplified chinese? (as it's a gtk2 program, I don't think so; and I can use chinese with other gtk2 based programs) 2. What's the possible cause for my problem? I really appreciate any help/comments.
