When login failsafe session, IM status [English/European] appears and covers xterm. Users can not see the text hidden by the IM status. Since window manager is not running in failsafe session, can not move xterm position. When login to Gnome session, /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession calls /etc/iiim/xsession. But when login to failsafe (gnome failsafe session as well), /etc/iiim/xsession is not called. So, this is out of control from iiimf side. Workaround: Perform /usr/lib/iiim/iiimx-settings-init and then focus out and in. or Run metacity and move up xterm. Possible solutions: 1. Set GTK_IM_MODULE=gtk-im-context-simple for failsafe session like 5052540, though I'm not sure if this would work. 2. Execute /usr/lib/iiim/iiimx-settings-init for failsafe session. 3. Change the xterm startup position to left upper corner from right bottom corner.
Created an attachment (id=176) [details] Patch over gdm-04-disable-im.diff This is a first suggestion. I think still need to consider the requirement of the console login and greeter. If we need to enable i18n, both fonts and IM settings are needed. At the moment, I would suggest disable IM could be a solution for May release.
IM is disabled in RC2
