I've found this same issue with Debian's aterm and kinput--I prefer what
I ~think~ is called on the spot conversion and many seem to agree.

Kinput and canna are a tried and true combo, albeit with some
limitations.  ~I~ think it'd be great if you included them. 

As for scim and how it should work (I hope that didn't come out wrong, I
think you see what I mean) if you get a chance download Berry Linux's
live CD>  It's a Japanese distro, so they've got it right (at least by
my standards).  

By got it right I mean, that if you hit ctrl+space, no matter what app
you're in, you get the input conversion engine going.  There's no need
to take the mouse down to the lower right to choose the keyboard, etc
etc.  

Of course I'm so used to shift+space that I keep hitting the wrong
thing.  :)
