I emerged scim-1.4.0 (from 1.3.3) and skim-1.4.0 (from 1.3.1) and after this, I couldn't execute any KDE apps I tested (kate, kwrite, konsole, konqueror). Already launched apps were, of course, fine. kate gave me an "kate: ERROR: Communication problem with kate, it probably crashed" error, while the others gave me an "Alarm clock" error... the kwrite windows showed for some seconds, with most toolbar icons missing, before crashing with the "Alarm clock" message (no other message printed). I didn't have the time to test other apps, except NEdit, for which SCIM doesn't work (neither a QT nor a GTK app), and which itself worked correctly. I did remerge scim-qtimm (0.9.2) and scim-anthy (0.4.3) (the SCIM modules I have), and even after a reboot (well, I'd like I could just restart X, but ati-drivers won't let me use my computer as I wish), the same problem appeared... KDE launched, as there is no use for SCIM at this point, but I couldn't launch any other apps I tested... The skim program also crashed when I opened the 'IMEngines' -> 'Global Setup' tab... (which doesn't feature a text input element... well at least in the 1.3.1 version) After unmerging everything (scim, scim-qtimm, scim-anthy and skim) and emerging them back (using scim-1.3.3 and skim-1.3.1), everything worked again. I don't know if it's only SCIM or skim related (maybe even scim-qtimm or scim-anthy). I didn't try to emerge scim-1.4.0 and skim-1.4.0 again. I don't have much time to test things, but if you want more informations, I'll do and answer what you ask... Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =scim-qtimm-0.9.2 =scim-1.4.0 =scim-anthy-0.4.3 =skim-1.4.0 2. restart X 3. kwrite # or other apps like konqueror, kate, etc. Actual Results: Launched apps crashed with "Alarm clock" error or for kate "kate: ERROR: Communication problem with kate, it probably crashed" Expected Results: Apps should Launch correctly.

Hmm, maybe a silly question, but have you got: ------------ XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM" GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" QT_IM_MODULE="scim" ------------ defined somewhere in /etc/env.d?

In my ~/.xprofile, loaded by my .xinitrc, yes (and they are correctly set under X). SCIM/skim and everythig else worked perfectly before emerging scim-1.4.0 and skim-1.4.0... (and they do now, as I downgraded back to scim-1.3.3 and skim-1.3.1).
Did you try scim-anthy-0.5.2? It works flawlessly on my box. Don't forget to unmask scim-anthy if you are using scim-1.4.0, skim-1.4.0 and scim-qtimm-0.9.2 (~x86) under x86 environment.
(In reply to comment #3) > Did you try scim-anthy-0.5.2? It works flawlessly on my box. > Don't forget to unmask scim-anthy if you are using scim-1.4.0, > skim-1.4.0 and scim-qtimm-0.9.2 (~x86) under x86 environment. Well, I thought I checked for scim-anthy new versions, but it seems I did not... emerging scim-anthy-0.5.2 solved the problem... in facts, I tried to emerge scim-anthy-0.4.3 after that (and rebooting) and seems to work without problems... I don't know what exactly happened, and I don't have time to search for an answer... If other people have the problem, you might as well use some kind of dependency here. Thanx for the info.
Thanks for testing. I updated scim-anthy-0.4.{2,3}.ebuild to not use it with >scim-1.4. (scim-1.4 users can use scim-anthy-0.5.2 instead)
Ok, sorry for my lack of strictness about my bug report, but there is more to it... I sure updated skim to version 1.4.0 but forgot to update scim to version 1.4.0... so it worked before, but don't now, as I updated again to scim-1.4.0... I even removed all scim-related configuration files (/etc/scim/, /etc/anthy-config, ~/.scim/, ~/.anthy/), unmerged and remerged eveything (scim-1.4.0, scim-qtimm-0.9.2, scim-anthy-0.5.2 and skim-1.4.0), but it doesn't work (kwrite, konqueror, kate, etc. crash at startup). This time, I tested GTK apps (like pan or Firefox) and they works. After all this, if I downgrade scim-1.4.0 to scim-1.3.3 (and even after remerging scim-qtimm, scim-anthy and skim, and rebooting), all QT/KDE apps are slow as hell... (and GTK apps don't work, waiting for konfig to load or something like that -I'll copy the exact message when I finish this comment)... No slowness with scim-1.4.0, but as I said, most QT/KDE apps crash... some apps like kig, kcalc, kalzium or kate, shows for some seconds with most icons missing and then crash... the others just don't show at all... there doesn't seem to be any problem with kicker (taskbar, system menu, etc.)... Some apps like kget or klipper, appear normally in the systray, their menu work, but if I want, say, open the configuration windows, they crash... I'll try to isolate the problem a bit more... Oh yes and yesterday, when I said everything worked, that was only with QT/KDE apps... the skim input windows (OverTheSpot) wouldn't appear in GTK apps... (and it was of course working perfectly before all this -emerging scim-1.4.0 and skim-1.4.0) There is obviously something wrong here, but it's hard to tell exactly where it comes from :/ I'll start with unmerging everything again and going back to packages versions I had before...
I can't reproduce the error message when launching GTK apps after downgrading scim-1.4.0 to scim-1.3.3... However, in this configuration, if GTK apps aren't slow, they seems a little less responsive... if it might be just an impression for GTK apps, it's not the case for QT apps, which are awfully slow... if I type a character in konsole or kwrite, there is a lag of half a second or something like that... If I type fast, the text won't show before seconds... As I said, I'll unmerge everything and revert back to the package versions I had before.
Ok, here's what package versions I use now: ################################################################ [ebuild R ] app-i18n/anthy-6700b -emacs +ucs4 [ebuild R ] app-i18n/scim-anthy-0.5.2 [ebuild R ] app-i18n/scim-qtimm-0.9.2 -arts +nls [ebuild R ] app-i18n/scim-1.3.3 +gtk -immqt +immqt-bc [ebuild R ] app-i18n/skim-1.3.1 -arts -debug +kdeenablefinal -xinerama ################################################################ With those versions, everything works perfectly... (either under QT apps or GTK apps). I don't want to break everything again, because I don't have the time to repair it now... If no other have the problem, I'll do a bit more testing, but not now. Bye the way, is there someone with running scim-1.4.0 and skim-1.4.0 compiled with gcc-3.4.x? I recently upgraded to gcc-3.4.4 from gcc-3.3.5.20050130-r1... If there is none, I'll downgrade back to gcc-3.3.5.20050130-r1 (or use gcc-config) and I'll compile scim-1.4.0 and skim-1.4.0 to see if that may not be the problem... (we never know... 'heard about problems with gcc-3.4 and anthy... but some people said it worked fine, so it might be resolved...).
Ok, I found the time to emerge scim-1.4.0 and skim-1.4.0 with gcc-3.3.5.20050130-r1 and QT apps don't crash... After emerging skim-1.4.0, I couldn't write in GTK apps using scim/skim (and still can't), but everything else is fine, so it might be a configuration difference between skim-1.3.1 and skim-1.4.0... (well if it's a bug, it doesn't matter for this bug report) So it seems gcc-3.4.x (or at least gcc-3.4.4) might be the source of the problem... I don't know what package has compilation problems with it (as I said, I heard about problems with anthy and gcc-3.4, but some said they didn't have any problem... so it might be any package related to scim/skim/anthy, or even another one I emerged after upgrading to gcc-3.4.4 and which interacts with scim/skim/anthy...)
try to upgrade to scim-qtimm 0.9.3 as well
(In reply to comment #10) > try to upgrade to scim-qtimm 0.9.3 as well Works great when compiled with gcc-3.3.5.20050130-r1... but I don't have enough time to test with gcc-3.4.4... if someone is using anthy-6700b, scim-anthy-0.6.0, scim-1.4.0, skim-1.4.0 and scim-qtimm-0.9.3, compiled with gcc-3.4.4, and it works, then I'll test too, to see if there might be another problem with my system... If it doesn't for them too, then there could be a problem between at least one of those software and gcc-3.4.4 (at least). If it works for everyone including me, then I guess there was some problem which was resolved by upgrading other parts of my system, or something like that... :/ If no one tests this before the end of the week, I'll try to take some time to do it...
Ok, 'found the time to test... and there really is some problem with gcc-3.4.4 and scim-1.4.0 (no problem with gcc-3.4.4 and scim-1.3.3... but I have to recompile scim-qtimm-0.9.3 with gcc-3.4.4 else, at least QT apps input is really slow). I get the "Alarm clock" crashing error with QT apps like kwrite... If everyone have the problem with gcc-3.4.4 (or even 3.4.x), then there must be some dependency set, until the problem is resolved... and a message for people who compiled scim-1.3.3 with gcc-3.4.4 (or 3.4.x), for them to recompile scim-qtimm with gcc-3.4.4, if it was compiled with gcc-3.3.x... (or something like that...) I can't help much to find any other details on the problem, sorry. There may already be some discussions about the problem elsewhere, if it's related to gcc-3.4.x.
all my system compiled with gcc 3.4.4 gcc 3.3.x and gcc 3.4.x have incompatible c++ ABI so please use gcc 3.3.x to compile SCIM packages until you recompile all your system with gcc 3.4.x someone can close this bug IMO
(In reply to comment #13) > so please use gcc 3.3.x to compile SCIM packages until you recompile all your > system with gcc 3.4.x Ok, I should have read http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Migrate_to_GCC_3.4 (well, I didn't really planned my GCC upgrading, that was to do some tests... but I should have been more careful) :/ I'll ask for the link to be added to the gcc-3.4.x ebuilds, as it should be there, so people don't waste hours working on false problems (at least, I guess I won't do the same error twice...). Sorry to have bothered you.
