That's fine. You were able to duplicate, on Fedora 9, my original test
results from Debian Lenny WRT scim-bridge having surrounding text
support problems. So obviously, we have covered both Debian and Fedora.

I did a little bit more surrounding text testing on
Lenny (The version numbers in the table are of libm17n-0):

                           ||  1.3.1-1.1   ||  1.3.4-1  ||
==========================================================
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim         ||    WORKS     ||  BROKEN   ||
==========================================================
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge  ||    BROKEN    ||  BROKEN   ||
==========================================================
------------------------------------------------------------


After I sent my results to the m17n list and Parag, Parag was able
reproduce them on Fedora 9:

I found that this problem can be solved when gedit or evolution is started like
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim gedit
or
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim evolution
------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully, the scim-bridge maintainer can fix the problem quickly.
