Hi YamaKen,

The output of 'pkg-config --variable=prefix gtk+-2.0' is '/usr', but
surely there shouldn't be anything at
  /usr/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules
right?

Using

  $ diff -u /tmp/gtk.immodules.current $(locate gtk.immodules | grep
gtk-2.0) > /tmp/gtk.immodules.diff

I got the attached diff.

How do you like my $(locate gtk.immodules | grep gtk-2.0)?

First I tried a simple 'locate', but found that there was a
gtk-immodules in '/'(!?).

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1641 2006-12-04 01:37 /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1726 2006-10-20 11:25 /gtk.immodules

I reckon the latter is an copy I must have made at some stage trying
to figure this out. Anyway...

A couple of questions:

 * What are "uim-related" packages? Just uim + dictionaries, or also
   gtk+ and/or Qt?
 * Why would rebooting be necessary? If the X settings are all that
   need to be reset, wouldn't restarting X be enough?

Happy New Year,
Martin
