Description of problem: Currently qt3 does not have any im module feature like gtk+2 and locked to support XIM only. Fortunately there is a group of developer which is developing this feature outside of trolltech. Additional info: They are cooperating with Trolltech however because it is a feature addon so they would not able to add it into Qt 3.3.x release due to their bugfix-only policy for minor version releases. This is essential patch to plug in other input method system (such as IIIMF)
Current patch for qt immodule: http://www.kde.gr.jp/~daisuke/immodule_for_qt/patch/qt-x11-immodule-bc-qt3.3.2-20040623.diff
Leon, i will add this patch in next rebuild. Did you already test this patch if this works?
For me, qt built with this patch seems to break the kde system tray and taskbar (they appear blank when first logging in). Though, restarting these applets makes items appear again. I've tried rebuilding kdelibs/kdebase against the new qt in case bc was a problem, but I saw no change in behavior. Only by rebuilding qt without the immodules patch made the kde system tray and taskbar properly functional again.
I have tested in rawhide installation and seems the taskbar and systray are okay (I can see RHN applet, and i can see running tasks). Any specific environment are you running in? Is it a refresh installation? It would be great if you can create a new bug regarding this problem (pls cc: me). Thanks.
I'll keep investigating, and open a new report, thanks.
FYI, see bug #132304 for details about the problem I was having with immodule. The "Application Launcher" kicker/panel applet appears to be to blame.
