--- Comment #2 from Alex <alex at polverini.org> ---
Thanks for your comment.

What I mean is that it's really difficult, from a user point of view, to even
understand what kind of input system KDE is using:

- may I deduce it from the control panel?

- may I change it? Ideally it should as easy as adding a new keyboard layout.

- what are the differences, and why do exists more than one?

- I can't even understand "that work with every application": why should that
be true? When I add a new language or change my keyboard I expect it works (and
it does) with every application I use, so why should that be different?

Since I'm not even sure which kind of input method my system is using I don't
know which kind of packages should I install, I don't understand if I need to
reset my system after installing (and why), I don't understand if I need to
manually setup some shell variables (every guide tells me different things).

In other words I'm totally lost, and I'm an experienced user using KDE since
more than 15 years.

I expect KDE at least to give me hint or suggestion on what packages I need and
what else to do to have pinyin input working.

You know, for an asian user having it is a very basic necessity as having a
working keyboard for us, so it's not some strange or unusual request.
