xim/scim does not work in firefox? [Solved]

[latex]

yesterday i removed feisty from my laptop and installed gusty instead. i struggled for a while but still managed to make it work. I usually set locale to en_GB.UTF-8, while using xim/scim for inputting chinese. this worked fine on feisty. however, on gusty, both xim and scim work fine in any application (opera, kate etc.) except firefox. they can't be activated using ctrl-space in firefox. any thoughts?

thanks

Solution:

click on the k-menu, then "internet", right-click on "firefox" and select "edit item", replace the command with the following:

export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim; firefox %u

Re: xim/scim does not work in firefox?

To install the fcitx input method, I use the following code:

sudo apt-get install fcitx
sudo im-switch -s fcitx
im-switch -s fcitx
sudo echo "/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-xim.so" >>/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules
sudo echo "xim" "X Input Method" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale" "en:ko:ja:th:zh" >>/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodule
s

The above code works perfectly on feisty, and works for most applications on gusty apart from firefox.
