Introduction

kimpanel is a panel Plasmoid for various input methods with concurrent Plasma theme.

kimpanel

Information

kimpanel is in the kdeplasma-addons part of the KDE SC 4.4(.x) release, so you should update your system to KDE SC 4.4.x, install kimpanel via package manager.

For Kubuntu 9.10 + KDE SC 4.4.x:

sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-kimpanel

Right click desktop, choose add widgets, place the kimpanel Plasmoid (possibly named "Input Method Panel") wherever you prefer.

Tip

Arch Linux users please check kimpanel-plasmoid-svn in AUR.

fcitx-dbus

Support for FCITX has been in trunk since r294. Users are encouraged to upgrade.

svn co http://fcitx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk fcitx
cd fcitx
./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install

Tip

*Arch Linux users should check fcitx-dbus-svn in AUR. fcitx-svn is okey though.

Tip

*Kubuntu users should check fcitx-svn.

ibus

Install ibus as usual. Then

For Kubuntu 9.10 + KDE SC 4.4.x:

install kimpanel-backend-ibus

sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-kimpanel-backend-ibus

open systemsettings -> autostart, add

ibus-daemon --panel=/usr/lib/ibus/ibus-ui-kde

Note

ibus requires ibus-qt or ibus-qt4 to input special characters in KDE/Qt applications. (I doubt it --- there is XIM still.)

If the kimpanel Plasmoid is absent, please check $QT_IM_MODULE and set that to ibus.
