This may cause problems in some applications and make it impossible to input anything, even if you choose the English/Keyboard input method. This happens most often in nautilus, but is also seen in gedit, gnome-terminal, etc. This bug has been around for a long time, it only became more visible because of the change in the default settings of scim and the Ubuntu package. There are two work arounds for this problem: 1. If you do not use any programs linked to libstdc++5 (very few of the Ubuntu official packages do, one know exception is the fglrx video driver for ATi cards; but plenty of third-party programs do, such as firefox downloaded from www.mozilla.com, and Adobe's PDF reader), you can use the scim-immodule setting in im-switch. To change the im- switch setting, just run "im-switch -s scim-immodule" command. 2. If you do not use the deadkeys (often seen on European keyboards, and if you don't know what a deadkey is, you are not using it), you can change scim's "/FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic" setting. The procedure to change this setting is: (a) Set scim not to start automatically (because it's useless to change the configuration file when scim is running) using the command "im-switch -s none". Log out and re-login. (b) Edit your ~/.scim/config configuration file, change the /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic option to true. (c) Reset scim to start automatically with command "im-switch -s scim". Log out and re-login. If you are using programs linked to libstdc++5 as well as deadkeys, there is no known workaround for you. You may try the scim-bridge settings (you need to install scim-bridge-* packages first), but it's not clear whether it works or not (and I don't even know if there is a written scim-bridge setting for im-switch of not).
