Hi Daniel,
Tks for your advice.
Login Gnome (language tried : Trad/Simplified Chinese)
Gedit > Right click > Input Method
"Internet/Intranet Input Method" already selected. Input method already loaded. GIMLET applet not found
'Ctrl+Space bar' switching between Pinyin/Canjie and English. Chinese input is possible
My problems were
1) If I can't find a Chinese character needed on the first page I can't switch to another page (additional/following page). This happens on all programs, such as, Kedit, Kmail, Gedit, OOo Writer, etc.
2) The contents in the Menu/tool-bar on OOo Writer disappear, if login Trad/Simplified Chinese, leaving only English characters there (short form description). I don't need Chinese menu. English menu can serve me.
I don't know how to fix them. I have another FC2 box which does not have those problems. It is quite funny to me.
I have posted those problems before without response. Can you help.
TIA
B.R. Stephen

Niether can I find "Internet/Intranet Input

with 'Right_click' on GNOME desktop
Nor can I find "Input Method" menu
Not right-click on GNOME desktop, but right-click on gedit or Evolution's email compose edit box.
Then, choose Input Methods / Internet/Intranet Input Method. The GIMLET applet will appear on the panel (task bar). In my case, it shows "English". Clicking on the applet, do whatever necessary to select Simplified Chinese, then use pinyin to input Chinese characters.
Don't use space bar while entering Chinese character, cause if you hit space bar, the applet will switch to show è±æ, which indicates that pinyin input is disabled. To reenable it, click on GIMLET applet and select Chinese again.
To disable pinyin (to enter English words), hit space bar, or Ctrl-Space Bar, or click on GIMLET applet and select English.
This facility is not user-friendly yet, but at least now, I can use it effectively, after getting to know its bizarre behavior.
Hope that helps.
