RHBA-2011:0521 - imsettings bug fix update
Synopsis
imsettings bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated imsettings packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The imsettings packages provide a library and command line tools to configure and control input-methods settings. Users normally access it through the "im-chooser" GUI tool.
This update fixes the following bug:
- It was not possible to turn off the GTK XIM input-method module from imsettings. As a consequence, users were unable to enter Unicode characters using the Ctrl+Shift+U shortcut. With this update, the default GTK input-method is restored to gtk-im-context-simple, which allows Unicode input with the shortcut. Now only desktop locales that normally need X locale compose default to using the GTK XIM input-method module. (BZ#616061)
Users of imsettings should upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
