Anybody familiar with it, or what it's needed for? I've got at least one user (it's *very* noticeable with her) whose system is spamming /var/log/messages, to the effect of "Another agent is running...\nFailed to allocate the agent. Exitting" (complete with misspelled exiting).
In googling, I've seen someone just removing the package. What, if anything, would that break?
Oh, right, CentOS 5.6, KDE 3.5.4-1
# yum info scim-bridge ... Available Packages Name : scim-bridge Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.4.5 Release : 9.el5 Size : 111 k Repo : base Summary : SCIM Bridge Gtk IM module URL : http://www.scim-im.org/projects/scim_bridge License : LGPL Description: SCIM Bridge is a C implementation of a Gtk IM module for SCIM.
from browsing that URL, it appears IM in this context means Input Method, and SCIM is some kind of generic Smart Common Input Method editor, for which SCIM-Bridge is a Gtk(Gnome) shim of some sorts.
looks like its mostly for far eastern languages.
