I'm fairly new to Debian, but not to Unix. I'm using a standard
Lenny install (Squeeze later, when I have more confidence) and use KDE
as the desktop. I need to use an input method for non-English scripts
and have been reviewing scim and the offerings there. I am not ready
to install this yet, but have installed all the fonts I will need
(UTF-8) and the locale is set appropriately. To my surprise, I find
that Gnome terminal already has all of the input methods that I need.
Where did they come from? Neither konsole nor xterm seem to have an
input method option. Does anyone know if I can re-jig the input
methods of terminal so that I can access them directly through
OpenOffice, Iceweasel or KDE applications (apart from copy and paste)?

Any ideas would help. Thank you.

Rob Hurle

It doesn't appear that any im is installed. Maybe this input method
I'm seeing is built in to Gnome terminal?

Cheers,
Rob

SCIM is enabled with GTK+ and so most of the GNOME apps provide the right-
click input method facility.

OOo and Iceweasel are... well, better if you read it from here:

http://www.scim-im.org/wiki/faq/gtk_gnome

For KDE/Qt there is additional information on that same page :-)
