We designed uim-default not to process any key event and pass them to
GTK2's default input method. But uim-default mistakenly eat some of
key events.

Could you tell us what key are you faied to type? I unfortunately
missed some keys, maybe because Japanese keyboard does not have
the key.. XD

Please set envirnment variable GTK_IM_MODULE=gtk-im-context-simple
for a while.

Sorry for inconvenice, but I want to have real fix for this problem.
By the way, are you using uim-helper-applet for GNOME or
uim-helper-toolbar-gtk? I or Tokunaga san will implement input method
switching from uim-default with its GUI.

Thanks,
