You said you use en locale, but what encoding is that?  I am using
Debian unstable, from my past experience, scim runs well in almost all
locales, but you have to set correct LC_CTYPE to have the panel working.

I would suggest trying
    $ scim -f x11 -c simple -ns socket -d
    $ export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
    (or whatever en locale you prefer, make sure you use UTF-8 encoding)
    $ export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
    $ export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
    $ gedit
which works for me.
