[SCIM] scim only read LC_ALL for determine input language?

[James Su]

Hi,
  I forgot to tell you the most important thing.
  In glibc LC_ALL has the highest priority, if it's set then all other 
LC_ values will be ignored. The correct way to set locale environment is 
unset LC_ALL and set LANG. Like LC_ALL, LANG is a global variable which 
can affect all LC_ vars, but it has lower priority than all of the LC_ 
vars. So if you want to give one of LC_ vars a different value, just set 
the value separately. For example:

unset LC_ALL
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_TIME=zh_CN.UTF-8
...
