Description of problem: New im-chooser has a capable of being started/stopped IM without restarting the desktop. however scim's processes are still running even if disabling IM. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.4.7-8.fc9 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. choose SCIM on im-chooser. 2. turn off "Enable input method feature" checkbox. 3. Actual results: still running scim processes Expected results: should be stopped. Additional info:
im-chooser is looking at PIDs when XIM_PROGRAM and AUXILIARY_PROGRAM is brought up. however /usr/bin/scim what currently scim.conf has for XIM_PROGRAM is bringing up multiple processes and exits after that. so that pid is invalid then. This is what's happening now. FYI.
Fixed in 1.4.7-111
This change to scim-conf seems to break scim startup for some users. Probably starting up the XIM socket first may prevent SCIM starting up correctly sometimes. It might be a bug and/or race condition, and may depend on the speed of the machine perhaps...
I modified scim.conf to use /usr/bin/scim to start scim related processe. In the new version scim.conf, scim will not start as a daemon. im-settings-daemon can close it by sending SIGINT or SIGTERM signal to scim processes. FIXED in version 1.4.7-12.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
