I guess that it's an immodule (re)installation
problem. Hmm... this is a good opportunity to write down GTK+
troubleshooting. Try these steps.

1) Run following commands

  $ gtk-query-immodules-2.0 >/tmp/gtk.immodules.current
  $ diff -u /tmp/gtk.immodules.tmp `pkg-config --variable=prefix gtk+-2.0`/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules >/tmp/gtk.immodules.diff

2) Send us following files and information

  - /tmp/gtk.immodules.current
  - /tmp/gtk.immodules.diff
  - Your OS distribution and version

I know that the gtk.immodules location varies by distros and so
above step may not work on some environments. Is anyone know a
good way to guess sysconfdir for GTK+?


And following procedure may work for such problems although of
course not a true resolution.

1) Remove all uim-related packages

2) Reboot the OS

3) Reinstall uim-related packages again

Since desktop IM environment may involve settings that effects
on X startup, rebooting the OS is an important step to deal with
such problems.

I think that writing this procedure into the troubleshooting
section as a last fallback for bridges setup problem is a good
compromise.
