[Fedora-i18n-list] Re: Japanese input _almost_ working in English FC2 (KDE)

I'm glad to know the above command and the debug switch. Thanks. James, I apologize to intercept the thread on Japanese input. Below is Chinese input, but the problem is not a lot different - I think. I have IIIMF and the GNOME desktop; I enjoy the ability to read Chinese characters in my emails and see them in many applications. That is good...Super. However, I am not thrilled with IIIMF yet, because I cannot use it effectively. With the debug message, I can identify several occasions where the conversion mode is toggled off: Toggle client conversion mode to false. When using gedit, every time I type a space character, the conversion mode turns off by itself. CTRL-Space also turned off the conversion mode. There might be more situation where the conversion mode is turned off. Once the conversion mode is turned off, it cannot be turned on conveniently - CTRL-Space definitely doesn't work. Gimlet is as buggy as it can be at this point. When the space character turned conversion mode off, it reduced to a small button without a label on it. Clicking on it, I found that "English" is checked. The only way I can turn the conversion mode on is by clicking on Gimlet and choose "Simplified Chinese". Right-click in gedit and from the context menu choose Input Methods/Internet-Intranet Input Method doesn't turn the conversion mode on - Gimlet displays a empty label. Switching between application windows, Gimlet may sometimes display 英文, that is "English" in Chinese characters. Clicking on Gimlet shows that Simplified Chinese in checked, not "English" as displayed. The conversion mode was not turned on - there is no way to turn it on until you go through the clicking process to check Simplified Chinese again. Too often conversion mode is turned off unintentionally and one needs to start all over again to turn it on. That discounted my experience with IIIMF a lot. There are several other problems: I couldn't switch between Simplified Chinese input method anymore. I did it once or twice with CTRL-ALT-4 awkwardly, when FC2 was first released, but it doesn't seem to work anymore. I gave up adding Traditional Chinese to the list - Gimlet crashed and randomly changed its menu one or two times too often. I added Traditional Chinese, a crash (I forgot if I killed it because it simply wasn't behaving) will take it out. I have no idea what ASCII mode is. Why it just suddenly appeared in the menu and I think I lost "English", for a while. It didn't work to input ASCII too. Although, I provided a list of problems, I can see that a lot of the mechanism are already there. A few polishing in UI components might solve most of the problems I am experiencing. Thank you all for advancing the International support on Linux! Pls.: Is there a guide on this version of Chinese input methods? I'm not very good at any Chinese input method, but I learned a little of two input methods before. I just need to learn it/them more comprehensively. Even a database of what keystrokes yield what character(s) will be a good reference for me. Thanks.
