Henri, SCIM is AFAIK really outdated. IBus is certainly the better choice. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, 32-bit hence things might be a bit different. I got IBus to work pretty easily by adding it at System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications. After restarting the desktop you should have an IBus tool in the system tray. In general, it might be easier to get help at the IBus user forum: http://groups.google.com/group/ibus-user?pli=1. I guess there should also be resources with Ubuntu handling that kind of topics. Last but not least the forum of the Beijing Linux User Group should also be worth a try: http://www.beijinglug.org/index.php?option=com_kunena&view=listcat&catid=0&func=listcat&Itemid=138 (registration required).
