I'd like to try them on Dapper (I installed Dapper for that reason), at 
least Chinese, Tamil and possibly Japanese and Korean (not so thorough 
for these two languages).

What is stopping me atm is that the IM variables are not set by default 
(i.e. scim and the packages relevant for the language gets installed, 
but there's no way to trigger it).

It's not like nobody can't configure it by themselves, but more the idea 
that to get a relevant testing, it would be really nice to now exactly 
which method is the "official" one to get scim configured and ready to 
use. That way, the (hopefully) many users testing scim would be assured 
they're not filling false bug and increasing the noise in launchpad (or 
in this  list, or in user's list) because they didn't read the doc 
carefully enough.

I now everyone's time is precious and wouldn't want to increase the 
burden. Just a little explanation on this list (or on user's list) and 
I'm on my way to test/fill bugs (though I'm not expecting many bugs 
from  scim :) )

Thanks,
