Good, so it seems "im-switch -s scim" got rid of the interference of
UIM. So let's concentrate on SCIM, and I have got an idea about what
the problem is now.

This is expected. Now please remove all your SCIM related settings in
~/.gnomerc (they are not necessary anymore now that im-switch support is
implementend), and first test "im-switch -s scim" (logout and relogin).
According to your previous comments, this is expected to work. Then run
"im-switch -s scim_xim" (logout and relogin again), and this is expected
to fail. Now please add a line
    /SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_US.UTF-8,en_GB.UTF-8
at the end of your ~/.scim/global, logout and relogin. I hope now scim
will be working.

Thank you for the patience when I am trying to figure out the problem.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
