I'm trying to use fcitx in Slackware 15, in Xfce (on a PC) and in Openbox (on an old laptop)

set environment variables

Code: .profile
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitxtest:

Code: echo $GTK_IM_MODULE ; echo $XMODIFIERS ; echo $QT_IM_MODULE
fcitx
@im=fcitx
fcitxstart fcitx in .xinitrc

Code: /usr/bin/fcitx -rd &test:

Code:ps aux | grep fcitx
user 5689 0.4 0.5 294992 40128 ? S 14:10 0:01 /usr/bin/fcitx -rd
user 5764 0.1 0.0 5536 2452 ? Ss 14:10 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --syslog --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --config-file /usr/share/fcitx/dbus/daemon.conf
user 5768 0.0 0.0 3740 148 ? SN 14:10 0:00 /usr/bin/fcitx-dbus-watcher unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-t9ttjSJS4P,guid=9f8dc8e11e538ed38f97334864f1d4a2 5764
test [Ctrl]+[space]:

No effect.

test Xfce keybord icon menu: (right-click menu): input method: only English

I know there are people who use fcitx. How do I get it to work?

NB I want to use fcitx because I want to use Fcitx-mozc, which is supposed to have prediction.

Another solution to get Japanese and Chinese input with prediction to work in Slackware 15 would be fine as well. Can I revert to scim+anthy? At least that had some prediction, even if scim was a bit crappy.

Thanks.
