Too many scim-panel processes?
System Details:
Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex Beta 8.10
KDE 4.1.2
i386
scim 1.4.7-3ubuntu10
skim 1.4.5-4ubuntu3
scim-bridge-agent 0.4.14-2ubuntu2
scim-bridge-
scim-bridge-client 0,4.14-2ubuntu2
scim-gtk2-immodule 1.4.7-3ubuntu10
I am not sure which other packages might be relevant but I just listed a couple.
It just seems to me that there are far too many scim processes running under my system. Especially as in spite of having installed scim on my system, I haven't actually managed to get it to work yet.
So so given that I am unable to use the IME properly for the moment, why should there be over 50 different scim processes running at any one time?
At the moment, the process scim-panel-gtk is appearing at least 51 times and all in all but one case is running under my username.
Running the command "ps ax" in the Konsole gives the following:

I can't help but feel that this number of running processes represents a problem, so I would just like to confirm this with someone else before I consider filing a bug report.
Thanks
