Hi Daniel,
Tks for your advice.
Login Gnome (language tried : Trad/Simplified Chinese)
Gedit > Right click > Input Method
"Internet/Intranet Input Method" already selected.
Input method already loaded. GIMLET applet not found
'Ctrl+Space bar' switching between Pinyin/Canjie and
English. Chinese input is possible
My problems were
1) If I can't find a Chinese character needed on the
first page I can't switch to another page
(additional/following page). This happens on all
programs, such as, Kedit, Kmail, Gedit, OOo Writer,
etc.
2) The contents in the Menu/tool-bar on OOo Writer
disappear, if login Trad/Simplified Chinese, leaving
only English characters there (short form
description). I don't need Chinese menu. English
menu can serve me.
I don't know how to fix them. I have another FC2 box
which does not have those problems. It is quite funny
to me.
I have posted those problems before without response.
Can you help.
TIA
B.R.
Stephen

Not right-click on GNOME desktop, but right-click on
gedit or
Evolution's email compose edit box.
Then, choose Input Methods / Internet/Intranet Input
Method. The GIMLET
applet will appear on the panel (task bar). In my
case, it shows
"English". Clicking on the applet, do whatever
necessary to select
Simplified Chinese, then use pinyin to input Chinese
characters.
Don't use space bar while entering Chinese
character, cause if you hit
space bar, the applet will switch to show è±æ,
which indicates that
pinyin input is disabled. To reenable it, click on
GIMLET applet and
select Chinese again.
To disable pinyin (to enter English words), hit
space bar, or Ctrl-Space
Bar, or click on GIMLET applet and select English.
This facility is not user-friendly yet, but at least
now, I can use it
effectively, after getting to know its bizarre
behavior.
Hope that helps.
