That's an important clue. Only things that get that stuff from 
~/.bash_profile, will have that environment.

Yup, because gnome-terminal likely uses ~/.bash_profile, 
since bash is likely your default shell for gnome-terminal.

If you are invoking Firefox or Thunderbird from the X desktop, 
it makes sense that they will not use ~/.bash_profile 
and so will not have a clue about the scim environment stuff. 
However if you invoked Firefox or Thunderbird from 
gnome-terminal, one would likely get something more interesting. 

Are you trying to mix English and Japanese scim windows within a 
default English X desktop, or are do you want the whole 
X desktop to be Japanese scim?
