SCIM -> FrontEnd -> Global Setup -> "Share the same input method among all applications" This option when enabled fails to work when using scim-bridge-0.1.8 as your immodule. Reproduce Procedure: 1. Open two applications. 2. Select Japanese in one application. 3. Select Chinese in one application. 4. Switch between the two applications. One application is in Japanese, the other Chinese. The SCIM global option should make the language whichever was chosen last in all applications.
Thank you for reporting that. This must be fixed soon. (Honestly speaking, I've just fixed this problem, but now I have another problem to fix)
These problem has been fixed on scim-bridge-0.1.10 on CVS. I'll release it officially after testing a few days.
scim-bridge-0.1.12 has been built in Fe devel.
