(There shouldn't be difference between using scim on FC3 and FC4 - are you using the packages in Fedora Extras?) Anyway to setup scim to be used by default for any language on Fedora Core, do the following: $ mkdir ~/.xinput.d $ ln -s /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim ~/.xinput.d/default If you only want it for say Australian English, then replace "default" by "en_AU" in the above command. Then restart X and it will take effort. Hope that helps, Jens
