[SCIM] Pinyin and Tables disappeared from the menu.

[Yukiko Bando]

Hello!

I updated my system (Mandrake 10.1 cooker) yesterday, it was a heavy update 
(more than 800 Mb with lots of KDE packages), and after that I lost Smart 
Pinyin and other Chinese input methods from the SCIM menu.  I tried 
reinstalling all related packages (scim, scim-chinese, scim-tables, uim, 
scim-uim, scim-m17n) couple of times but that didn't do the trick.   I can 
see tables such as Wubi, Cantonese etc. in the setup window though...  UIM-* 
and M17N-* that remain in the menu are all working fine.  What could be the 
problem?

It seems the SCIM menu is not always updated properly.  I uninstalled 
Mandrake's uim and scim-uim (for dependency) to install uim compiled without 
m17n support, but when I restarted SCIM, UIM-* were still there. 

I also wonder if there's a file that I can manually edit to get back the lost 
entries, as a workaround, if they function.

Here's what I get when I start SCIM with a script and what $ uim -l gives.

#!/bin/sh
scim -f socket -e uim,m17n -c simple -d
scim -f x11 -e socket -c socket -d
