I am cc'ing to I18n/L10n community. I think we should look at how the input method configuration can become more flexible. - should come up when users use it, but does not come up when users never use it - when users use it, it should be configurable which one Considering what the majority of users are in a given locale, we would set the default configuration per the language. In addition, changing the configuration should be easy. Does this look like a good goal? One thing to note is that have limitation of the LiveCD size, and it is always challenging to have all options available and configurable to all users on LiveCD. > It doesn't integrate or activate like typical GNOME > panel applets, and > shows itself in a bordered window upon launch, which > is unacceptable. > Whatever strange voodoo it's doing when it moves > itself into the panel > is probably what's making it so slow. I don't know how significant it is to the performance whether it comes up with its own window border, but this particular bug was already fixed in RC2.
