I'm quite interested in that, because it would solve my pbs in Dapper. 
As mentionned, the pb is in Dapper, so could you please precise if you 
installed Dapper from scratch (and then which Flight) or upgraded from 
Breezy to Dapper (in what case that would be more understandable).

In case you've installed Dapper from scratch, how did you install scim : 
using language selector or manually? And is everything else on your 
install standart (OO builds for example). Then, are you using an english 
desktop or another language? Which locales do you have installed? More 
inportant, are you using en_US.UTF-8 (which is the only supported by 
default) or another one, like me?

Thanks a lot for any information (I could then update
