Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.10-1
Severity: normal

After I upgraded to squeeze, I realize gdm login dialogue get input via
scim.  Since scim state is invisible, this is not desiarable.  

My current SCIM setup send data to application via XIM.

(I now have to disable SCIM by CTRL-SPACE which toggle SCIM mode.)

I think lenny gdm did not read input via SCIM by some trick, I guess.

My current input method set up are: 
QT_IM_MODULE=xim
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
