I did that, except that I set the env variables in a terminal (I removed 
my .xsession file first, of course), and it does what it is supposed to 
do (that is if I choose the input system, xim is set as a default). Note 
that I still somtimes problems with software (they launch but hang; it 
hangs at a different system call, though, according to strace for the 
launched application).

Anyway, when I want to use japanese input (anthy system), it still fails 
when I try to convert the kana to kanji.

I have to confess though I am a bit confused: what does it mean to set 
XMODIFIERS to SCIM, but GTK_IM_MODULE to xim ? What is the connection 
between scim and xim ? (I thought scim was a "better" xim, eg they 
provide the same functionality).

I tried to install it by myself from sources, but there seems to be a 
bug in they autoconf/automake scripts which prevents me from installing 
it in my $HOME (I do not have root access to this machine).
