When I was using Maverick, it was possible to switch the input method from a UIM indicator applet. Now that I have upgraded to Oneiric, I can't seem to switch the input method even when I open uim-im-switcher-gtk. This is necessary for me because I need to be able to switch back and forth between English and Tibetan and the keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work until after I've changed the input method from the panel first. Is there some way to get a UIM indicator on the Unity panel? This is a major regression for me and makes it impossible to do certain kinds of work in Ubuntu.

So I figured out how to get UIM in the Unity panel for anyone who wants to do it. First, if you haven't already, install dconf editor. Open it and go to desktop > gnome > unity > panel. In the systray-whitelist "Value" field, add a new item 'uim-toolbar-gtk-systray' between apostrophes. My systray-whitelist looks like this: ['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'scp-dbus-service', 'Update-notifier', 'uim-toolbar-gtk-systray']. Now restart Unity by logging out and logging back in. Enter the command: uim-toolbar-gtk-systray. You should also add this same command to your Startup Applications.

In my dark panel, the UIM menu looks like rubbish. For some reason it's all squished into one small area and the background is light. But at least it works.
