This is still an issue in Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Beta. The fix ought to be straightforward. After the user "adds" a language requiring complex character input in the KDE System Settings, the Regional and Language module should start scim and then invoke im-switch thusly:
im-switch -s scim-bridge This will enable complex character input using scim under any locale, even if the locale is a language without complex characters (like English).
