Multiple Input Method Switcher Applications Appear in Trusted Java DS

When you log in to the Trusted Java DS with UTF-8 or Asian locales, the Input Method Switcher application, iiim-panel, appears per label by default. Thus in multiple label environment, multiple iiim-panel appears, which could be confusing to the user.

No error message is displayed.

Workaround: Stop using the iiim-panel. Perform the following steps:

• Right-click on iiim-panel and select Preference. The Input Method Preference Editor, iiim-properties, is displayed.

• Select None or Attach to Each Application from the Input Method Status and Switcher Placement list in the General tab.

• Press Apply or Click the OK buttton.

When Attach to each application is selected, language switcher list will not be displayed for GTK applications. You can switch input language through non-GTK applications or by running GTK applications with X Input Method instead of IIIM. For example:

% env GTK_IM_MODULE=xim gedit
