thanks Ed - I think I'm going to bed for the night but I did install
python-pinyin and even think maybe I need to actually launch scim...

$ scim -d
Smart Common Input Method 1.4.7

Launching a SCIM daemon with Socket FrontEnd...
Loading simple Config module ...
Creating backend ...
Reading pinyin phrase lib failed
desc table has been created.
Loading socket FrontEnd module ...
Starting SCIM as daemon ...
Launching a SCIM process with x11...

Loading x11 FrontEnd module ...
GTK Panel of SCIM 1.4.7

Starting SCIM as daemon ...
SCIM has been successfully launched.

but I still haven't figured out how to input any Chinese characters from
the keyboard. I don't think this is a pinyin issue.
