[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 80551] Re: openoffice fails to start if scim is the default GTK_IM_MODULE

[Douglas Liu]

Dear HeresJohnny.

As a matter of facts, this does help.

I upgraded my system to feisty previously, but openoffice doesn't seem to be
working when not using scim-bridge.
After I saw your mail, I decided to re-install scim and remove scim-bridge.
now I can confirm, on a ATI (fglrx) feisty installation, scim works fine
with openoffice, (and f-spot as well, though I don't use it very often, but
I can confirm the program do start now.)

I can't recall exactly the procedures of my attempt.
but roughly the following.
1. upgrade to feisty
2. apply all updates
3. apt-get remove --purge scim-bridge scim (and some other scim related
package perhaps)
4. apt-get install scim (and all those you have removed in step 3, except
scim-bridge)

These steps will reset your xinput scripts to default, which is good for
most people, if you used scim-bridge before, the configuration should be
gone now.

This fixes my problem.
Though I'm not completely sure the re-installation is required or just
somebody fixed it and committed at the right time. :D
any way, thanks.

regards
