[SCIM] Some werid problem about SCIM

[Shixin Zeng]

These days I was puzzled by these two problems  about SCIM.
The first one: SCIM can't cooperate with gvim with vim-latexsuite.
Let me discribe this problem in details:
1. install vim-latexsuite and gvim
2. gvim some.tex
3. Ctrl+Space to activate SCIM to input chinese.
The problem will be:
When GTK_IM_MODULE is set to "SCIM", I can't even input Chinese via 
SCIM. SCIM can be activated, but it will immediatly become deactived 
just after I hit keys, so I can input nothing except English letters.
When GTK_IM_MODULE is set to "xim", I can input Chinese. But once I hit 
"space", "backspace" or number keys(1, 2, 3... 9, 0) in Chinese input 
mode, the SCIM will become deactived. I must hit Ctrl+Space again to 
input Chinese, it's very boring.
AFAIK, this problem existed before SCIM 1.0.

The second one: the candidate bar doesn't disappear automatically in gaim.
The candidate bar doesn't disappear automatically after you select the 
character. It is a terrible thing that you must hit ESC or some keys 
else to hide it every time.
For other gtk2 programs, such as gnome-terminal, gedit etc. it works fine.
