Experimental unified package
xvnkb-scim-unikey
As packager ,you never know what people have in mind ,nor what they
installed on their machine .
The only way is to produce packages working with livecd ,hoping they
will fit to most situations installed with those distributions.
A drawback with livecd is environment constraints with scim - since
there is no livecd with built-in xvnkb/unikey . To take
only Gnome based distros ,two livecd can have quite different ways to
register input modules to GTK .
For the few impatients
http://wangji.hoan.googlepages.com/xvnkb-scim-unikey-ubuntuhardy.deb
http://wangji.hoan.googlepages.com/xvnkb-scim-unikey-0-2.noarch.rpm
Just install it with 'sudo dpkg -i pkg.deb ' or ' sudo rpm -i
pkg.rpm ' . In case of installation errors ,mostly because
of previous installed module/lib mainly with scim -ie
m17n-db,libm17n, ...- just put option force install to overcome it.
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite pkg.deb
sudo rpm -i --replacefiles pkg.rpm
Tests have been done with ubuntu-7.10/8.04 for the deb's pkg and
fedora8-live-i686 for the rpm's pkg .

Playing the game :
xvnkb typing started by clicking on Desktop's icons gedit /
openoffice_writer
scim is available thru popup-input-method-menu by right click
inside the current window ,input method ,then
scim or unikey or xinput
The X input method points to scim at boot but can be switched to
unikey ,while xvnkb environment starts up from a wrapper to avoid system
wide xvnkb's core preload library .
Typing selection is available thru left click on the keyboard 's icon at
the upper right Desktop window , choose language,then the typing
selection
Fedora-live does not enable input method choice by default , either
double clicking on the enable-input-method's icon
or to click on System-preferences-input-method 's im-chooser to enable
it
enjoy .
