I didn't give myself the time to fix it, but an upgrade somewhere in
the last two months fixed the problem.

What do you think of suggesting: "Try to reinstall GTK+ and if that
doesn't
work, please follow the steps below" on
  <http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Uim/Troubleshooting>
be a god idea? Would UIM have to be reinstalled as well?

OK, I've put:
  1. Remove all uim-related packages (uim, dictionaries, GTK+ and Qt).
  2. Reboot
  3. Reinstall
up on the Troubleshooting page.

Thanks for the help, guys. Feel free to suggest any changes to the
Troubleshooting page that might make developer support easier on you.

Cheers,
Martin
