Yeah, I didn't mention the XMODIFIERS because it's supposed to be done
magically by im-switch, i.e. I have this in ~/.xinput.d/en_GB

XIM=SCIM
XIM_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/scim
XIM_ARGS="-d"
XIM_PROGRAM_SETS_ITSELF_AS_DAEMON=yes
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
QT_IM_MODULE=xim
DEPENDS="scim,scim-anthy|scim-canna|scim-chewing|scim-pinyin|scim-hangle|scim-prime|scim-skk|scim-tables-additional|scim-m17n|scim-uim|scim-tables-ja|scim-tables-ko|scim-tables-zh"

/etc/X11/Xsession.d/80im-switch will do the rest and I set
LC_LANG in ~/.xsession
