I didn't even realize that there were multiple input methods from a =20
laptop keyboard.  Smart Common Input Method, I doubt because it =20
doesn't seem to be very smart.

Openoffice is the only program that has any problems. Skype, pidgen, =20
term windows, Konsole, even gimp work perfectly.

Spell check works perfectly.  Using it and cut and paste from other =20
applications is the way we are working.

Thanks a bunch and I'm sorry about my not understanding SCIM.  I found =20
it on wikipedia.  I'll read some more but it seems to be over kill in =20
this case.
