Status in “scim” package in Ubuntu: Triaged

Bug description:
Binary package hint: scim

After upgrading to Karmic, I found that the tray icon for scim no longer appeared in the notification area as before.  SCIM still worked normally (I could switch input modes via keyboard shortcuts).  When I looked at Panel > GTK under SCIM Setup, "Show Tray Icon" was in fact selected under "Misc".  When I deselected that and clicked apply, then reselected it and clicked apply again, the tray icon appeared in the notification area as expected.  However, upon starting my computer, the icon was gone again, although the option in question was still checked.

Perhaps SCIM is being started before whatever handles the notification area, and then that is never told to add the icon for SCIM?
