Summary: Old scim and possibly other settings causes lot's of problems after upgrade Product: Fedora Version: 15 Platform: ia64 OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: unspecified Component: scim AssignedTo: pwu@redhat.com ReportedBy: carljohan@kjellander.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: petersen@redhat.com, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, pwu@redhat.com Classification: Fedora Story Points: --- Type: ---
Description of problem: I have a Fedora system that I have upgraded from roughly F10->F15 via every single intermediary release.
After a resent update the system became almost unusable because of timeouts happening everytime focus is changed. The error that loop look like this.
An IOException at scim_bridge_messenger_receive_message (): Connection reset by peer Failed to receive messages at scim_bridge_client_read_and_dispatch () An IOException at scim_bridge_client_change_focus () An IOException occurred at scim_bridge_client_imcontext_focus_in () Loading simple Config module ...

This problem does not occur if I create a new user and log in as it so it is localized to my main user.
I have used scim a long time ago, but it stopped working and doing it's magic a long time ago as well.
How do I reset gnome, scim, the session, maybe abrt to default settings? In the olden days (RedHat 7-8, not fedora) there used to be a dialog when you had upgraded to remove old crusty settings, but that seems to be long gone.
