Fixed: German umlauts are missing, Kubuntu 9.10

[Hausmoasta]

Hi,
my umlauts are bäääääck ägän!
Don't know why: I logged out an started a gnome session. At first gnome
advised me that there are some missing language-packages -  so i
reinstalled as much german as possible. This made no difference - no
umlauts. In the window for the language-support I found a kombobox for
keyboard-support: none/scim-bridge. I changed it to none, logged out
(sorry, without testing my umlauts) and logged in to a new KDE session,
and my umlauts are back again!
Though I don't know, waht this scim-bridge should be, I'm happy to have
everything working again.
Thanks for your interest an help!
Ciao
Tom
Huräääääää!
