I do think  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scim/skim-1.0.0-1suse.i586.rpm?download
is the right rpm for SuSE users.
AFAIK, others can install skim with skim-1.0.0-1suse.i586.rpm under
SuSE successfully, please confirm that if you can find other people
who use skim.
(The developer in charge of the SuSE rpm is on vacation now, so I am
afraid the latest version of skim will be available after 15th, Oct)

That file is for fedora, not for SuSE

The reason why skim can not find its plugin is that the wrong rpm is
installed, I think.

I am not very sure about that. I guess it should be in a file named
xim under your X11 dir.

:) I do not think anyone other than CJK would develop such kind of
app, don't you think so?
