SCIM with a Euro language like French (normally gtk2's cedilla immodule) in order to type CJKI languages does not have proper French behavior when you have dismissed the language bar or hit "SHIFT" in certain IM languages that normally switches it back to English mode. This bug is to track the overall problem of having proper fallback behavior to the native LANG input when IM is disabled.
What kind of behavior do you expect for French? scim supports all necessary compose keys for European languages by default. Isn't it enough?
I'm setting the XIM event flow default to static now, so it should be better now in 1.4.4-6 I believe.
Aalam, you can experiment with European deadkeys with setxkbmap followed by eg: de for German, se for Swedish, etc. eg: $ setxkbmap de $ xkbprint :0 $ evince server-0.ps shows the German keyboard layout. Recommend setting your default layout first eg for me $ setxkbmap jp so that you can easily get back to a working layout with the Up key to move through the shell history. For the German layout the deadkeys are to the left of the Enter key. But maybe this bug is more referring to a substitute for the gtk2 Cedilla im module for scim: though right now I forget how Cedilla works.
French xkb layout has ç on the 9 key and I have not seen any requests for this from French speaking users, so closing for now.
