To be honest, I'm not really sure what advice to offer. For me, switching between input methods is nigh instantaneous. I also don't have any anthy processes running according to pgrep or top; UIM handles connections to it internally. Can you post your entire .xinitrc file? Obviously redacting any information that needs to be. Also, can you try the following: 1) Launch uim-pref-gtk 2) Under the first page that opens (Global settings), under "Advanced settings", does checking/unchecking the "Enable lazy input method loading for fast startup" have any effect on anything? On my setup, that option is checked and I don't have any problems, but YMMV. -- Bryan
