Etoys does not work with Chinese input
--------------------------------------

         Key: SQ-554
         URL: http://tracker.immuexa.com/browse/SQ-554
     Project: squeakland
        Type: Bug
  Components: etoys, etoys-sugar, etoys-linux, etoys-olpc  
    Reporter: Bert Freudenberg
     Fix For: etoys 4.1 and showcase - june 2010


Original report at http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9620 (OLPC F11-1.5)

Sayamindu's steps to reproduce:

1. Install OS 36

2. Change value of LANG in /home/olpc/.i18n to zh_CN.UTF-8

3. Change value of XKB_VARIANT in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard to olpc2 (XKB_LAYOUT should be US)

4. Restart Sugar

5. Verify that Chinese input is working by trying the language-switch button and typing something in the mesh-search-bar.

6. Start Etoys and try to type something in Chinese.

Expected results:

Chinese characters should appear, along with the PinYin input bar in the lower left corner

Actual Results:

Characters from the standard QWERTY keyboard appear

Additional Notes:

The squeak VM needs to be started with the -compositioninput option (this can be done via the etoys script in /usr/bin). However, even after that, Chinese characters appear correctly only after the locale (LANG, LC_ALL env variables) are set to ja_JP.UTF-8
