I'm a Chinese user. I didn't used iiim before I install FC2. I don't like it after my first try. It supports too few input methods for Chinese. It always displays an annoying white rectangle beside the window. Another problem is, once I switch to the Chinese language, iiim is automatically enabled. This is nothing bad. However, when I switch back to English, its annoying white box still appears beside each window!!! I find out that XIM is set to htt in ~/.i18n. This option is set even for English sessions. I then want to disable the iiim system-wide service, 'cause I'm not going to use it any more. However, disabling this service makes KDE applications hang mysteriously. This means I have to turn it on even if I don't use iiim. It's definitely not the best choice of IME in Linux. I'd like to use SCIM. I wonder why Fedora people make other IMs obsolete while turning to use iiim. Is it a good idea to do so?
