Hello Alex, Your hypothesis sounds good and takes care of all the problems that we have seen with this bug. I'll try using F-spot's slideshow feature and see if I can trigger the crash. According to everything we've seen so far, though, my SCIM should be crashing, and yet it isn't. I installed fglrx so I could set up Beryl, and I haven't experienced problems in switching over. If I need to type in Korean, I can: 너무 이상하다. (translation: very strange). In fact, I just tried the F-spot slideshow and it neither it nor SCIM crashed. Perhaps I just set it up in the right order? Used the right set of instructions this time? I don't know, but I'll take working over not working anyday.
