Description Tobias Burnus 2005-08-13 06:10:20 UTC

Make sure scim is running and start a Tcl/Tk program like:
  Convert

Normal input works (finally!), but if you enable some input scheme, it does not
work.

On m17n@suse.com it is said that the "XIM support in tcl/tk is broken. We need
to fix tcl/tk rather than scim"

Hmm, the problem seems to be in Tk as a Perl-Tk app does not work either. Try e.g.
 texshow (te_cont.rpm)

Comment 2 Tobias Burnus 2005-08-13 06:25:39 UTC

Hmm, according to http://wiki.tcl.tk/1356 is should work (installed tk-8.4.11-3,
reported to work (see url) with 8.4.9 on Solaris, Tk 8.3.4+ on Windows IME and
Linux XIM.

On the other hand:
"Up through Tk 8.5a1, developers working with LV have found that they have not
been able to get the built in Tk input method support to work on SPARC Solaris
machines." -> http://wiki.tcl.tk/1615
