Reading the thorough explanation on bug #66104, it says /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic has to be set to true manually. However, I didn't edit any files, it's just plain default Gutsy configuration.

Has this been changed in Gutsy final, and if so is it the reason why :
- keyboard's dead keys get borked by default;
- I can't use scim input anywhere, even using gnome's method to select scim input in, f.e., gedit?

In short, if I change /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic to false (in user's scim.rc or whatever it's called) AND run "im-switch -s scim-immodule", will I be able to input Chinese (and hopefully keep the dead keys)?

I need to be able to input Chinese for a document due tomorrow, so it's getting a tad worrisome for me :{
