IMPORTANT: scim by default works only in an en_US.UTF-8 locale!
From my experience, it should be a UTF-8 locale, not necessarily en_US.
And it should be specified in ~/.scim/global. I have:
$> cat ~/.scim/global
/DefaultKeyboardLayout = kconfig
/DisabledIMEngineFactories =
/SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_CA.utf8,en_US.UTF-8,fr_FR.UTF-8
And set a few variables in /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim. I modified the
following in mine:
#GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
#QT_IM_MODULE=xim
QT_IM_MODULE="scim"
And then start scim. I think that should do the trick.
Doh!
Now, if I had been able to find any HOW-TOs on scim, I should no doubt have
This might be helpful:

found out a long time ago that that was the problem. Or if I had had teh
courage to ask again on this list...
Any volunteers to write some scim documentation?
Meanwhile I am a happy user of uim in my en_GB.UTF-8 locale.
My granddaughter, however, for whom I am doing this, is not impressed that it
is via the mouse and not via the keyboard. :-( I should have thought that
one mouse click was far faster than typing "c h i" or "z u" etc.
In scim, to toggle between two inputs one just has to do CTRL+SPACE
combination (other combination can be configured). Much faster than
moving to the mouse, clicking and coming back to the keyboard for typing. :)
My 2 cents.
Regards.
