There is plenty there. Before reading random document found via google, you must read this.

This may please some but others may not. You will understand when you read how to configure. Please read the fine manuals. Also, Debian Reference document for newer ibus may also be helpful. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch08.en.html#_the_input_method_support_with_ibus (If you are still using lenny, lenny version of debian-reference-en package had configuration guide for scim.) Quite franfly, this is mostly user problem and adding suggested feature is not going to happen.
