Scim in Dapper

[Loïc Martin]

Hi,
I'm trying to test Chinese input support in Dapper.
Installing    works perfectly and installs scim with all the relevant 
packages. Nevertheless, although scim is installed, I can't use it to 
input text in gedit (doesn't even shows in the input method selection 
that pops up after a right-click) or Open Office, nor (as it seems) into 
any other application.

Before I report a bug, can anyone point me to any step I did wrong 
and/or explain me the method to solve this problem?
I know it should only need a few lines in ~/.gnomerc, but I'm trying to 
keep Dapper clean of any personal configurations so my tests and bug 
reports would be relevant. If I'm missing an easy mouse-selectable 
option, then there's nothing to report now.

Cheers,
Loïc
