I use a Dvorak keyboard layout, controlled through the language bar "United States-Dvorak". I'm trying to use the Chinese IME (Simplified, Pinyin), but whenever I switch to that mode, the keys go back to QWERTY, so I can't type...

Note: The OS is Windows 7, which has the new Pinyin IME.

Edit: I wish I could put my SO rep up for a bounty here. :\ I guess 100 has to do for now.
