I have suggested that scim-bridge* and skim are removed from the Kubuntu
seeds for Intrepid. That means, they should not be installed anymore on
a pristine install from the final image. However, when upgrading from
Hardy, things might go wrong and the user would need to remove those
packages by hand.

My guess is that the code would need to be ported to qt4 first.

Anyways, scim-qtimm should not be needed for qt4 applications, AFAIK
plain XIM works fine. But for legacy qt3 apps, I'm not sure how to
handle this... setting the QT_IM_MODULE variable should affect both qt3
and qt4 applications and in this case conflict...

(damn this design!) I hope we can do better for Jaunty...
