Bug Description

Binary package hint: scim-bridge

The xinput file installed by the scim-bridge-agent package, /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim-bridge, refers to QT3 specifically:

if [ -e /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/inputmethods/im-scim-bridge.so ]; then
    QT_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge
else
    QT_IM_MODULE=xim
fi

On systems with only the newer QT4 libraries installed, QT applications will not use the scim-bridge input method. Installing the QT3 version (scim-bridge-client-qt) resolves this problem by triggering the above expression.

System: Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (also seen on Hardy)

Right, but qt3 isn't going to disappear very soon, I'm afraid, so breaking input for qt3 programs is bad.
