Hi David,

I am not really qualified to answer your question, but I noticed
something strange in your bug report.

See the difference here?  This sounds a messed up SCIM installation to
me.  You said that you are using scim 0.99 (which is actually 1.0-pre,
and _very_ incomaptible with version 0.9), and if I remember correctly,
the gtk immodules are installed in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/immodules for scim
0.99, however your program still complain about
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/, which should only exist in scim 0.9.

And here is another evidence, the library installed by scim 0.99 should
be libscim-0.99.so.0.

So my question is, have you installed scim 0.9 before?  And if yes, did
you clean up you scim 0.9 stuff before installing scim 0.99?
