I've been using/testing ibus since I've heard it may be the replacement
for SCIM....

Anyway, I installed SCIM and it all works fine for me in  GNOME.  But, I
screwed up and installed everything (like I normally do) and not just
the packages you've indicated.

You may want to try installing the scim-bridge* packages and then go
through the exercise of setting the input method.

Under GNOME the following environment variables are set....

[egreshko at f11 ~]$ env | grep -i im
IMSETTINGS_INTEGRATE_DESKTOP=yes
IMSETTINGS_MODULE=SCIM
QT_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge
XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM

I seem to have run into one issue....  SCIM won't run in KDE with both
ibus and scim installed....or so it seems.  But, both and coexist when
GNOME.  I'm running kdm instead of gdm...not sure if that is having an
influence.
