My step to reproduce:

1. Install fresh Intrepid Alpha 6
2. At installation screen, select Thai Keyboard > Thai
3. After first boot without doing anything else, launch gedit and then switch keyboard layout (using Alt+Shift key combination) and type any Thai text (can use the text provided by DArKer/Sugree)

My workaround

1. Go to Preference > Language Support
2. Choose "Thai" in "Supported Language"
3. Don't choose "Enable support to enter complex characters"
4. Logout and then login again
5. Thai input now works fine

I'm not sure which one is the default input method for Intrepid. From my step, I think it's XIM rather than SCIM, right?

My guess, selecting "Thai Keyboard" in the installation step doesn't install necessary component for Thai input. Is this dependency problem?
