Holizz versus the Web

SCIM doesn’t work with Qt at all. It is not very good. But fear not, for Tom knows how to fix this glaring bug in Qt!

Step one: install scim-qtimm. I downloaded the Ubuntu package of scim-qtimm (for my Debian installation).

Step two: start or restart any Qt apps, and stare in amazement at your ability to use your IME!

I’m glad I got it sorted out. Now I can search for よつばと♪ or あゆみ in Amarok (pretty much the only Qt app I use regularly). It sucks, however, that the package isn’t in Debian.
