Do it work better if you uninstall scim-bridge-gtk and restart the desktop?

It's seems that both GNOME are KDE are completely broken... Removing scim-bridge-gtk doesn't change anything. Attempting to delete .gconf* in my home directory. - Gilboa
... I may have a broken rawhide install on my hands. (Due to vmware crapping out on 2.6.19+ kernels). I'll reinstall, and try again. - Gilboa
Ok, closing for now.
