[Bug 113935] '*' expression cannot be used in SCIM Chanjie anymore

It has been resolved on Feisty Fawn.
But I suggest to backport the latest SCIM to dapper to solve the problem


More Details:
--------------------------------------------------
I'm a Chinese linux user and have used SCIM as my Chinese input method
for a more than a year. I updated with dapper development weekly and a
month or 2 ago, I found SCIM removed a useful feature.


As you may know, Chinese input method usually done by typing in a set of composition code for every character input so the input method can sort out the character I want within serveral 10,000.

Before the change, I can use the key '*' within the set and SCIM will
try 'any one or more than one' code for that '*'. For example, if I type
'j*i' and SCIM will show me a list of characters with 'jqhi' and etc
that matches. It is highly useful since quite frequently people do
forget some part of code sets.

However, after the change, SCIM does not receive any '*' input anymore.

I'm not quite sure if it is a change of SCIM or other components in
ubuntu, but this change really upset me and, I believe, many other SCIM
users.

Is there anybody who is kind enough to check it out?
Thanks
