I'm also using uim-0.3.4.2-2mdk under Mandrake 10.0 Community (fully updated 
with cooker repository) and can reproduce the problem.  Ctrl-V only works the 
first couple of times for me in kwrite, kmail etc.  Sometimes it doesn't work 
at all.  I didn't notice the problem because I always use mouse for copy and 
paste (highlight and middle-click).  On the other hand, uim-helper-applet 
seems to work fine here. 

I wonder if there's some incompatibility with Mandrake's qt (3.3.2-12mdk)...?  
I installed uim-0.3.8 from the tarball (after uninstalling uim, uim-applet, 
libuim0 and libuim0-devel pacakges) but could not type Japanese in KDE 
applications.  Nothing happened with Shift+space.  I did "./configure 
--prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc" but it didn't do the trick as before.  I 
have no idea what to do and am stuck with uim-0.3.4...
