Re: [tlug] no, really: Die, .uim, die! [SOLVED]

TLUG,

With some help that I got from the UIM mailing list, the problem of the 
errant .uim file has been resolved.

The culprit turned out to be a script called 
/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/uim_anthy.

By making an adjustment to that script, the .uim file no longer gets 
created on reboot or at log in, so my preferences remain as I set them.

Of course, I don't really understand the finer details of how the script 
was edited, I just followed instructions. I don't even know what 
language the script used. If you are curious to know, you can see the 
details of my discussion on the UIM mailing list here at the following 
link, which includes the contents of the uim-anthy file before and after 
editing:

Thanks for all the help I received here, and I hope this information can 
be of help to people with Japanese input issues in the future.
