When built against gtk3, scim-setup fails to start.

Fortunately, as you put it yourself, "SCIM supports GTK3" as it is.

You're right, I didn't test scim-setup.
I couldn't get SCIM to work in GTK3 with GTK_IM_MODULE=scim using the original package, it only works with XIM.

Indeed, GTK3 support works through XIM at the moment (and so does QT and other widget libraries).

If GTK3 is detected it is selected as the toolkit to build scim-setup and other tools, which I believe makes sense (everything should eventually switch to GTK3); obviously this won't happen for our package until we can fix the scim-setup bug.

You would of course be more than welcome to research that bug and come up with a fix. I would gladly integrate it in our package.

I think I have a fix for this issue, but can't add a comment because the issue is closed.

So, everyone saw that when scim was compiled with gtk3, scim-setup would refuse to start with "cannot register existing type `GtkWidget'", etc.

But after I removed the only scim plugin I use, scim-pinyin, scim-setup *did* start. So I rebuilt scim-pinyin myself. Then scim-setup was able to start. And my original bug is fixed: now I can use scim for entry in my VTE-based terminal emulator.

So was the problem that scim-setup and scim-pinyin (or whatever plugins you use) disagree about gtk version?

The fix just seems to be to build scim and scim-pinyin myself. Maybe something could be done better/differently on the boxes that build the packages.

I have rebuilt SCIM with the Gtk3 and Qt4 immodules; the new packages are in [testing] for now - please report any issues.
Note that the SCIM interface still uses Gtk2, because certain modules (such as scim-anthy) do not support Gtk3 interfaces.

I just installed new scim and scim-pinyin, and it seems fixed (I can still use SCIM entry in terminal). Thanks!
