Description of problem: Installed and launched scim, scim-anthy, scim-i17n. When launched the gnome icon appears by right clicking has no effect, nor has ctr-space, and the toolbar does not appear. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): scim-1.4.4-9.1.fc5 scim-m17n-0.2.0-2 scim-libs-1.4.4-9.1.fc5 scim-anthy-1.0.0-1.fc5 scim-libs-1.4.4-9.1.fc5 Linux lampone 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 28 03:38:47 EST 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reprducible: When I launch scim under gnome the icon appears in the icon tray but clicking it does not give me the list of input modes and ctr+space has no effect (note that it worked perfectly with FC5t2 and FC5t3, but stopped working after my fresh install of FC5). I removed the current version and yum reinstalled all: $ sudo rpm -e scim-libs scim scim-m17n scim-anthy $ sudo yum install scim-libs scim scim-m17n scim-anthy ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: scim x86_64 1.4.4-9.1.fc5 updates-released 270 k scim-anthy x86_64 1.0.0-1.fc5 updates-released 389 k scim-libs x86_64 1.4.4-9.1.fc5 updates-released 751 k scim-libs i386 1.4.4-9.1.fc5 updates-released 756 k scim-m17n x86_64 0.2.0-2 core 48 k Installing for dependencies: libstdc++so7 i386 4.2.0-0.3.20060203.2 core 309 k ============================================================================= I rebooted, tried to launch scim from a fresh account. But same problem, the icon appears and no input mode menus. No tool bar, no effect with ctr+space.
I believe you tried gtk2 apps, how about KDE (eg kedit) and X apps (eg xterm)?
And what is the output of "printenv | grep -i scim"?
Also any errors in install.log?

Apparently none: [root@lampone ~]# grep -i error install.log Installing libgpg-error-1.1-1.2.1.x86_64. Installing libgpg-error-1.1-1.2.1.i386. Installing libgpg-error-devel-1.1-1.2.1.x86_64. [root@lampone ~]# grep -i scim install.log Installing scim-libs-1.4.4-9.x86_64. Installing scim-1.4.4-9.x86_64. Installing scim-anthy-0.9.0-2.fc5.1.x86_64. I am very ready to install scim from scratch and test it on a fresh account (indeed this is what I did before, so may you'd better send me precise instructions). However notice that scim worked till fc5t3 with the very same account I'm using now (I did a fresh install of FC5 but kept my several years old home partition)

You probably want to make a symlink like: ln -s /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim ~/.xinput.d/fr_FR or replace "fr_FR" with "default" if you want to use scim in your account for any locale. I originally assumed you already had this since you said you already had scim working in fc5 test releases.
Gee, me stupid. I am so ashamed: when I did fresh install of FC5 I took the occasion to remove some config files, some of which where several year old and unused. Guess what? I removed ~/.xinput.d. I really apologize for the time you lost on such a stupid mistake of mine. Sorry and thanks ... "bug" closed.
