Well, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem!  I was worried 
it was an error on my part or something.  I too am using uim-0.3.4.2-2mdk via 
Cooker.

uim-helper-applet works for you?  It hasn't worked for me since I installed 
Mandrake 10 Community.  I am using KDE (I don't even have Gnome installed)... 
could that be why it doesn't work?

I personally haven't tried any of the tarballed versions of UIM.  I'm on 
Cooker, and I'm relatively new to Linux, so I'm sticking with Cooker RPMs for 
now... that's as brave as I get!
