Or, recompiled package from ubuntu universe repository?

I know that ubuntu developers recompiled scim in universe (due to
different gtk version), but I've never tested it.

Without testing, I would say XIM should work fine, but GTK IM module
most likely won't work due to the install directory of the immodule
plugin im-scim.so.
