Description Zhe Su 2006-03-10 09:56:52 UTC

Because we are using immodule enabled qt3 and scim-qtimm, yast2-qt will load scim-qtimm module to get input method service. Then it'll launch another scim instance for root user, if yast2 is launched by a normal user. It's annoying, and may confuse users.

I suggest to add "export QT_IM_MODULE=xim" in yast2 startup script to force yast2 use XIM instead of scim-qtimm to prevent from launching another scim instance.

Reassigning to Marcus Schäfer <ms@suse.de>, he can add this to the
YaST2 start scripts.

Comment 2 Mike Fabian 2006-03-10 10:28:20 UTC

Do you want to set QT_IM_MODULE=xim in the yast2 start script only if
yast2 is launched by a normal user?
What should happen if the user is already logged in as root?
Should we set QT_IM_MODULE=xim always in the yast2 start script?

Comment 3 Zhe Su 2006-03-10 10:58:31 UTC

I think setting QT_IM_MODULE=xim always in the yast2 start script should be the simplest way, and it should be just ok.

Comment 4 Marcus Schaefer 2006-03-10 11:20:41 UTC

ok, I added that variable, fixed
