OK, replacing GTK_IM_MODULE="xim" with GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" in .gnomerc makes everything work.
The remaining question is why things didn't work to start with, since I didn't create .gnomerc until I already had a problem I was trying to fix. Still, I'm not sure how we could recover that now.

Thanks for your help.
