Enabling IIIMF Input System in Fedora Core 4

I found IIIMF cannot work when I have installed Fedora Core 4 in default way. According to Fedora IIIMF FAQ, I checked if service was running.

$ /sbin/service iiim status
iiimd (pid 2012) is running...

but when pressing "ctrl+space" in "gedit", no any response. What's wrong?

$ rpm -qa iiim*
iiimf-le-xcin-0.1.10-1
iiimf-le-chinput-0.3-19
iiimf-server-12.2-4.fc4.2
iiimf-server-12.2-4
iiimf-libs-12.2-4.fc4.2

Lacking of some packages, so "yum install" these packages below:
iiimf-gtk-12.2-4.fc4.2
iiimf-gnome-im-switcher-12.2-4.fc4.2
iiimf-docs-12.2-4.fc4.2

Add "InputMethod Switcher" to the panel, then launch "gedit" and click on the switcher or press "ctrl+space", it works now!

Note: IIIMF is related to the locales. If you want to enable IIIMF for other locales, do as FAQ describes.

Good news! Fedora Core 5 have used the SCIM as the default XIM instead of IIIMF. According to its installation guide, it is easy to config the SCIM under the English environment.
