Synchrounous thinking, that's exactly what I was doing :-)!

'twas a real monkey dichotomy job but we've made it: .

.xinput.d$ ls -l ~/.xinput.d/

lrwxrwxrwx 1 andrei andrei 35 2009-06-20 16:06 en_US -> 
/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim-bridge

Removing this .xinput.d has restored my sleep!!!

Now I am bothered with where to submit this issue further to fix.
Is it still scid's issue or a system level one...

Thanks for your generous help!!!

PS. and yes, Orwell is right.
