because of this, i couldn't start any more programs. another problem is that the scim panel can never remember where i put it. i'm running a dual monitor setup with 14 desktops on each monitor where the windows aren't shared between the desktops. $ xlsclients -d :0 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached xlsclients: unable to open display ":0" i kill a program then: timmy@main:torrent$ xlsclients -d :0 main gnome-session main /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon main metacity --sm-save-file 1092767278-1501-3563105039.ms main gnome-panel --screen=0 main gkrellm2 -wm --sm-client-id 11c0a80114000109087964800000312970000 main stardict --screen=0 main gnome-alsamixer --screen=0 main xterm -fn -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--18-120-100-100-C-90-ISO10646-1 -bg black -fg white -vb -sl 4096 main xterm -fn -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--18-120-100-100-C-90-ISO10646-1 -bg black -fg white -vb -sl 4096 ...etc... main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay main /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk -c socket -o none -d --no-stay ...etc...

Which version of scim are you using? The latter seems upstream bug, but the former might be Gentoo package's one.
* app-i18n/scim Latest version available: 1.0.1-r1 Latest version installed: 1.0.1-r1 * app-i18n/scim-chinese Latest version available: 0.4.2 Latest version installed: 0.4.2
Sorry for the delay. Please try scim-1.2.x and scim-pinyin (scim-chinese was renamed to scim-pinyin). This might be solved in that version.
seems like newer versions fix this because i haven't ran into it lately
