I changed my .xinitrc as you suggested. It didn't change anything.
Then I removed scim -d from .xinitrc
started kde and in a konsole ran scim -d
The startup message included an error but after that it worked in gedit,
kedit and openoffice. Startup messages included below.
Then I put it scim -d back in .xinitrc. Again it wouldn't work in kedit,
konsole or openoffice.
But if I ran scim -d in a console it started to work in kedit and
openoffice.
So I have found two options:
a) put scim -d in .xinitrc and run it in konsole
b) delete scim -d and run it in konsole.
The startup message for option a) is different than it is for b)
Is this a bug or is there something wrong with my configuration?
Greg
startup message for option b) one for option a) is a lot shorter.

|
| The -f option seems important. I know you can use

|
| There also seems to a -s option but that doesn't show when you do
| scim -h
|
| Also a -ns option whose shortform doesn't show when you do a scim -h
|
| Is skim required if I want to input into kde apps or is skim only needed
| if you a kde style user interface?
|
| configuration information is below
