Yes - all of these problems exist on Debian too, although they way they might be addressed there could be different I suppose. The basic issues are the same though. > > A while ago Osamu mentioned an idea to apply patches conditionally... > > As regards updating im-switch...

I think so - it should just be a simple change to the config file (and my offer to sponsor still stands), so not a very difficult change to SRU. It may be dead (and should therefore be removed from Raring after switching Kubuntu over), but we do have it in stable releases still. IMO the fix to im-config should be considered as a fallback if the user didn't fully update before moving to raring.

Fixing im-switch in Precise and Quantal is part of the solution to this problem, something else must be done for those who haven't got the chance to upgrade to the fixed version.
