Oh, I see...  I didn't really understand what those options were about, but 
the detailed explanation in your reply to David helped a lot.  Thank you!  I 
think I'm beginning to get the hang of SCIM. ;)

Actually, though, "scim -f socket -ne socket -c simple -d" doesn't seem to 
work properly with UIM.  The command returns this.

No Factory loaded from uim IMEngine module!

But I tried "scim -f socket -e uim,m17n,pinyin,table,rawcode -c simple -d" 
instead, then it worked!  I got the full menu back. :)  I still wonder why I 
don't have icons for UIM and M17N entries in the menu while others do...  but 
I don't care very much about it. ;)

I've realized I have to kill SCIM manually (or reboot) to get the menu 
updated.  Isn't the process killed when logout?

I don't think so.  They were mostly KDE 3.2.3 packages.  Thank you for trying 
to help me anyway.
