Well, when you run gedit, which immodule are chosen? I mean right click->Input
Method menu->???
I just want to clarify if this problem is XIM-specific issue or..
Anyway, if it points out XIM, does it still happen when you change it to
'Internet/Intranet Input Method'?

1. run gedit
2. right click -> input method menu ->? Internet/Intranet Input Method
3. hangs 

Just tried again and confirmed the above procedure will reproduce the situation.

Oh. When gedit first start. XIM is chosen.

Sorry, To clarify, Comment #2 is correct, right?

Yes. Follow the steps. The gedit hangs.

Well, I just re-read your description of this problem and "but you can not bring
up any input method with pressing ctrl-space.". it's because of iiimf-le-xcin
and iiimf-le-chinput needs to be updated to be installed on the correct path -
newer IIIMF packages are now installed under /usr/lib/iiim which is different
path than older one. so you couldn't activate/use IM with Chinese locale. I
could reproduce it but the applications didn't freeze. I can basically input
ASCII after even pressing ctrl+space and can close the applications without kill
-9 etc.
So in your case, you can't exit the application and had to do kill -9 or so, right?

Yes. have to do kill -9. And How can I re-initail the xcin  input ??? What is
the old path??

Can this help??

Comment #7:
the old path means /usr/lib/im.
Can you still reproduce this on the latest IIIMF 12.1.1-11.svn2435?

Very sorry to say, Yes.

Can you give me for more info, please? I mean the result of below:
$ rpm -qa | grep iiimf
$ cat /etc/iiim/le.xml.conf

Also, is it still reproducible when you even do service iiim restart manually?

Also, how about after logout and login again?

Okay. I just re-install the whole thing and now no more application hangs but I
can activate iiimf When I do this: service iiim start. It shows ok but iiimd not
started.

Comment #15:
Well, I just wonder if you may use both of 32/64bit LEs and server. so how about
the result of rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n" |
grep iiimf ?

Comment #16:
did you got any logs in /var/log/messages? or how about run iiimd -d on the
terminal?

I re-install and update some of the packages. Now iiimf makes gnome-terminal and
gedit hangs again. The same situation as I first mention here. 

 rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n" |grep iiimf

iiimf-x-12.1.1-12.svn2435.x86_64
iiimf-le-xcin-0.1.10-1.x86_64
iiimf-libs-12.1.1-12.svn2435.x86_64
iiimf-gtk-12.1.1-12.svn2435.x86_64
iiimf-server-12.1.1-12.svn2435.x86_64

Now. when I start by service iiim start. It seems okay now but if I choose iiimf
in terminal. It just hangs.

Gideon

Should be fixed in 12.1.1-13.svn2469. please confirm.

Can't find the said package yet.

Okay. Good news for you. I confirm that it's fixed in 12.1.1-13.svn2469. Thanks
for your effort.
