[SCIM] SCIM on kde does not work with firefox

[Mark Marszal]

Ok i finally got it working with gdm!
SO if anyone else has this problem this is what i did:
I made a .xsession file in my home directory.
I added this to it:
#!/bin/bash
export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
expory QT_IM_MODULE=scim
exec startkde

then  i chmoded the file with chmod +x

then i restarted x, and i chose Custom Session from gdms session list,
and logged in. Scim now works on ALL qt and gtk based apps, its great!
Thanx for all you help everyone!
