about chinput in Debian?

yuekin

I can not use ctrl-space to switch input method in Xwindows(KDE). When I run chinput in one term, the message was :
Chinput Version 3.0.2 -- XIM Server
Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL)
Couldn't load /home/peng/.pyinput/usrphrase.tab. Please fix it. size or load error
Chinput ................................................[OK]
Then I found two PID corresponding to chinput. But there was just no response when I press Ctrl-space key.
Help me if you can. Thank you very much!

如果你使用GDM等图形登录界面，你可能需要把XMODIFIERS添加到全局环境变量中去，如加入到/etc/enviroment，
