I was referring to the Live CD, which uses US-English as default locale. I found out in the meantime, that the Live CD uses gtk-immodule and that SCIM is available via the context menu under the Input Method entry. However, I think that the average newbie won't be able to find that on his/her own. So I was suggesting to use im-switch and the XIM method as default. But as XIM has the problem with the need of predefined /SupportUnicodeLocale setting and users probably won't install any 3rd party application on the Live CD which has trouble with the GTK_IM_Module=scim setting, it should be enough to set the environment variable GTK_IM_Module=scim whenever Complex Input Method support is activated in the Language Switcher.

Cheers
