Reporter: zaitcev(a)redhat.com
Product and version number:
Fedora 1
Desktop environment and version number:
gtk2-2.2.4-5.1
Short description of observation:
In Japanese mode, GIMLET is invisible in the task tray when switched
to ASCII.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iiimf-gtk-11.4-1.FC1.2
iiimf-le-canna-11.4-1.FC1.2
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enabled GIMLET in the task bar (Right Click on task bar,
-> Add to Panel -> Utilities -> InputMethod Switcher)
2. Open GIMLET, add Japanese. Japanese appears in the menu now.
There is nothing in the taks bar! It's the bug, but go on...
3. Focus on an application (gnome-terminal or gvim), click into GIMLET
and switch it to Japanese. "A" kana appears, so you know where
applet is.
4. Type Ctrl-SPACE to switch between kana and ASCII. When in ASCII,
applet is invisible in the task bar. It is visible on mouse-over though.

Japanese LE doesn't have status text in English mode, so it hides
itself, it is blank anyway. The recent Japanese LE added the status
information in, you can try the latest build.

I can follow your other steps, but I'm not sure how to
reproduce this. For me once gimlet shows the status for
Japanese/Ascii it continues to do so irrespective of the
focus.

Perhaps I miss a font somewhere. Please refer to the attached screenshots
(sorry for the MIME, please let me know if you prefer a URL).
You might notice that one of them shows an outline of the applet (empty).
It only appears if mouse cursor moves into it, otherwise it completely
blends into the panel.
However, even if I miss a font, it's no excuse not to show something, IMHO.
Maybe an asterisk or a built-in glyph of latin "A".
Have a nice day!

I'd be surprised if you're missing a font for this, but what
fonts do you have installed?
I found a way to make the applet go blank though: closing a
different window while in Japanese (kana) mode causes the
applet to go blank for me. I wonder if this is related?

I suspect we are entering an area where a more developer-oriented
feedback might be useful. I cringe every time when people follow
a blackbox approach to kernel failures when a simple look at the
code would explain them. The difficulty in this case is that the
userland is hideously complex. I am willing to look at this in
better detail, but I need a mentor. Do you know a GNOME hacker
who would be willing to guide me?
Thanks,

BTW do you see Japanese on your box? in particular on gtk2
applications. if it's gimlet specific problem, I have no
clue to fix this. otherwise you need to check if the fonts
are installed properly. can you see the Kochi Gothic and the
Kochi Mincho from fc-list? and does gtk2 apps show Japanese
on the menu say? please try to run gtk2 apps with
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8.
