Oops, major goof!  I'm running PPC Debian Sarge, with 2.4.26 kernel.

No .xinitrc, but I do have a totally uninteresting
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitr. One command: . /etc/X11/Xsession.
(. /etc/X11/Xsession has a lot of stuff in it, but nothing about
GTK_IM_MODULE, scim, or anthy, and nothing I really understand anyway.)
