Description of problem: Restarting desktop to get SCIM changes is a hassle, when user only want to get the new input method immediately. Would be better to get it "programatically" works, or at least document an easy way for users.
I realised that scim-restart does not affect scim-bridge. Adding "killall scim-bridge" to it should help for the time being.
adding fix first to rawhide in next build
Fix to restart xim also going into 1.4.4-36.fc6.
Version Tested against scim-1.4.4-37.fc6 Steps to reproduce 1. gnome-terminal 2. scim-setup 3. Enable any new Keymap from a Global Setup and Apply Eg. Kannada , check the box 4. scim-restart 5. Activate SCIM [Ctrl + Space] 6. the New keymap selected should refect in the dropdown menu Observations :: The new keymaps reflect in the scim dropdown menu for this version hence resolving this bug.
