Could you replace the attached files in your XO (/usr/bin/olpc-session
and /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rainbow/service.py) and test ?
(ideally rainbow should be enabled)

I tested with scim-anthy, and it works for me (to be on the safe side,
edit ~/.i18n and set it to en_US.UTF-8)

All activities seem to work, except for Scratch and Etoys. Maybe you
can understand better what is happening here ?

Thanks,
Sayamindu
