scim problem

[François Patte]

Bonjour,

I installed scim to write some exotic scrips and it works quite good but
there is a problem that took me a long time to understand (and solve):
the assignation of the variable GTK_IM_MODULE to scim.

This is done when scim is running (for me at start time) and this makes
some applications crash: acroread, gxine (but not xine), realplayer....
I had to modify (or create) a script for these apps which unset first
this variable.

My question is: why scim cannot run smoothly with other applications?

I have another question, maybe off topics (but scim commes with fedora),
is there a keyboard in scim for transliteration of other scripts in
roman script? I mean a virtual keyboard which allow you to add letter
with diacritical marks (macron, underdots, overdots and so on.

Thank you.
