when pressing Ctrl+Shift to switch IM in this way:
Press Ctrl -> Press Shift -> Release Ctrl -> Release Shift
the IM will not be switched (however this works in Windows). This means a Windows user who is used to strike "ctrl+shift" together quickly will likely to experience "lag"s.

It would be better if such a sequence can be supported. Also, it seems I can't customize the key sequence in this way in the config window.

never mind, setting to Shift+Control+Control_L combined with Shift+Control+Shift_L worked.
I'll keep this open though, as I think it remains reasonable to support such key sequences by default (and I think it's a user-experience issue rather than a "Windows vs. Linux" debate ;D)

I'm not sure what you suggest to be done (if anything). Can you please clarify?

well, currently SCIM's key sequence of switching IMEs only works in this way:
Press Ctrl -> Press Shift -> Release Shift -> Release Ctrl

and pressing in this way will not work:
Press Ctrl -> Press Shift -> Release Ctrl -> Release Shift

however, some Windows users tends to "strike" Ctrl and Shift keys together to switch IMEs, which doesn't always work in SCIM if she happens to released Ctrl first.

so I would suggest that make the 2nd method work as well :)
