Can't configure Scim

[iAskThat]

Hi.

I can't find any step by step instruction about how to setup and use scim. I installed scim and anthy from repository, started scim, opened a text editor and nothing happned. I can't see any im-panels, I can't type japanese characters. Where can I find a clear tutorial about how to start using scim?

Thanks.

See if you can right-click on a text entry field and get a context
menu that allows you to select your input method. Then simply select
SCIM from that menu.

This will work in most GTK+ 2 applications, as long as you have the GTK
immodule package installed, and in some Qt applications, when you have
the Qt immodule package installed.

If you need to use SCIM in other programs (but please say you don't),
you'll have to mess about with so-called environment variables, which
allow SCIM to be used with the XIM (X Input Method) protocol. I have a
guide up at http://folk.uio.no/davidjo/i18n.php#scim that tries to make
some sense of it, but it's hopelessly out of date, so I don't know if
the settings I've documented are still correct today.

Best of luck!

Greetin's,

After installing SCIM & Anthy (Japanese), the keypad on my USB KB no
longer works.  NumLock key switches lock status light on and off, but in
either case number keys or arrow keys are not recognized.  Ubuntu.  Any
suggestions?
