Synchrounous thinking, that's exactly what I was doing :-)! 'twas a real monkey dichotomy job but we've made it: . .xinput.d$ ls -l ~/.xinput.d/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 andrei andrei 35 2009-06-20 16:06 en_US -> /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim-bridge Removing this .xinput.d has restored my sleep!!! Now I am bothered with where to submit this issue further to fix. Is it still scid's issue or a system level one... Thanks for your generous help!!!
