I installed F7 test2's live CD. I've upgrade since to rawhide. I was having a problem with a patch in Eclipse that added completion support to the specfile editor. Completion is activated by Ctrl-space which was being eaten the the SCIM Input Bridge input method. Is this a bug or this expected behaviour?
Well currently scim uses Ctrl-Space as the default hotkey to activate and deactivate IM. It is easy to change that hotkey in scim-setup, but perhaps we should drop the default binding for non-Asian desktops.

Should be fixed for new users in scim-1.4.5-13.fc7.
Thanks, I just re-installed it and started scim-bridge and I got completion in Eclipse with Ctrl-space.
Bah, I didn't realize that my input method wasn't set to SCIM Bridge. Is there something I need to do other than `yum -y install scim-bridge-gtk; scim`?
Sorry, as decided in Bug #236974 we decided that we must revert this change. Instead of disabling CTRL-Space by default in non-Asian languages (which is argued in that other bug to be problematic in other ways), SCIM will simply be disabled by default for non-Asian languages. Ramifications: 1) Non-Asian users wishing to use SCIM will need to activate it explicitly by using im-chooser. 2) If you enable SCIM and wish to avoid conflicting with emacs or eclipse, you must reconfigure SCIM yourself manually. A user of emacs or eclipse is likely to be more technical and can handle this more readily than a non-technical user. I realize that this is not a satisfactory solution to this issue, but this is the best solution when faced with conflicting requirements. We must default to settings that cater to the least common denominator, the most common users with no technical experience.

Installing scim-bridge-gtk and scim should be fine.

I assume Andrew was not really looking to use scim but just wanted to have sane defaults, so not installing scim by default or disabling it for non-Asian desktops would address that. (It still wouldn't help Asian users who want to use Emacs or Eclipse say, but I agree with Warren's comments above for those cases.)
