[Fedora-i18n-list] Cannot get rid of XMODIFIERS=@im=kinput2 after upgrade from FC1 to FC3

[Leon Ho]

Hi,

Can you make sure you have those iiimf packages installed?

iiimf-gtk
iiimf-x
iiimf-gnome-im-switcher
iiimf-libs
iiimf-le-canna
iiimf-server
iiimf-csconv

FC3 is different to FC1 as IIIMF is the default, hence you do not need
any customization done onto your environment. So please remove all your
mentioned export that related to i18n in .bash_profile. Clean out our
existing ~/.i18n. Add this line into ~/.i18n: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8

Then it should work after all those are set.

If you got more questions, this FAQ may help you:

Regards,
Leon
