Warren, what did you install? :)

Easiest way to get lang/input support for Japanese in F8 say is to groupinstall
japanese-support or install scim-lang-japanese, and then currently to use
im-chooser if your desktop in a non-Asian locale.

I started with an English-only install of F8, then used:
yum groupinstall japanese-support korean-support chinese-support

[warren@newcaprica ~]$ rpm -qa 'scim*'
scim-bridge-0.4.13-4.fc8
scim-tables-chinese-0.5.7-3.fc7
scim-libs-1.4.7-4.fc8
scim-hangul-0.3.1-1.fc7
scim-pinyin-0.5.91-20.fc8
scim-lang-japanese-1.4.7-4.fc8
scim-anthy-1.2.4-2.fc8
scim-tables-0.5.7-3.fc7
scim-chewing-0.3.1-9.fc7
scim-lang-korean-1.4.7-4.fc8
scim-bridge-gtk-0.4.13-4.fc8
scim-lang-chinese-1.4.7-4.fc8
scim-1.4.7-4.fc8

Not sure if this is related... but...
System menu > Personal > Input Method
"Use SCIM (Legacy)"

Is this normal?  Why does it say Legacy?

I'm guessing you're on a multilib box?

and oops scim-bridge-gtk is not multilib anymore in rawhide... :-(

Thanks for reporting this.

> Why does it say Legacy?

Because it fell back to XIM to avoid having broken multilib gtkimm.

Jesse, can we please make scim-bridge-gtk multilib again?

Warren pointed me at mash and I found this typo.

Committed.

Bill can you do a build?

Fixed in 0.2.6.
