Reporter: zaitcev@redhat.com
Product and version number:
Fedora 1
Desktop environment and version number:
gtk2-2.2.4-5.1
Short description of observation:
In Japanese mode, GIMLET is invisible in the task tray when switched to ASCII.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iiimf-gtk-11.4-1.FC1.2 iiimf-le-canna-11.4-1.FC1.2
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enabled GIMLET in the task bar (Right Click on task bar, -> Add to Panel -> Utilities -> InputMethod Switcher)
2. Open GIMLET, add Japanese. Japanese appears in the menu now. There is nothing in the taks bar! It's the bug, but go on...
3. Focus on an application (gnome-terminal or gvim), click into GIMLET and switch it to Japanese. "A" kana appears, so you know where applet is.
4. Type Ctrl-SPACE to switch between kana and ASCII. When in ASCII, applet is invisible in the task bar. It is visible on mouse-over though.
5.

Japanese LE doesn't have status text in English mode, so it hides itself, it is blank anyway. The recent Japanese LE added the status information in, you can try the latest build.

I can follow your other steps, but I'm not sure how to reproduce this. For me once gimlet shows the status for Japanese/Ascii it continues to do so irrespective of the focus.

Perhaps I miss a font somewhere. Please refer to the attached screenshots (sorry for the MIME, please let me know if you prefer a URL). You might notice that one of them shows an outline of the applet (empty). It only appears if mouse cursor moves into it, otherwise it completely blends into the panel.
However, even if I miss a font, it's no excuse not to show something, IMHO. Maybe an asterisk or a built-in glyph of latin "A".
Have a nice day! -- Pete

I'd be surprised if you're missing a font for this, but what fonts do you have installed?
I found a way to make the applet go blank though: closing a different window while in Japanese (kana) mode causes the applet to go blank for me. I wonder if this is related?

I installed everything remotely font-like, here's the list:

I suspect we are entering an area where a more developer-oriented feedback might be useful. I cringe every time when people follow a blackbox approach to kernel failures when a simple look at the code would explain them. The difficulty in this case is that the userland is hideously complex. I am willing to look at this in better detail, but I need a mentor. Do you know a GNOME hacker who would be willing to guide me?
Thanks, -- Pete

BTW do you see Japanese on your box? in particular on gtk2 applications. if it's gimlet specific problem, I have no clue to fix this. otherwise you need to check if the fonts are installed properly. can you see the Kochi Gothic and the Kochi Mincho from fc-list? and does gtk2 apps show Japanese on the menu say? please try to run gtk2 apps with LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8.
