[SCIM] SCIM on kde does not work with firefox

[Mark Marszal]

Hi again, i think we are almost there
I followed step 2 because i had - - userlocales
type

will run firefox. But if i try starting firefox outside of terminal,
scim will not work. Also, putting 
export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
in my .xinitrc apparently has no effect because when i restart X (using
GDM with kde) and start scim even in terminal, then open firefox in
terminal, firefox doesnt not show in the terminal that it is using scim.
So in short. I can only get firefox to work with scim if i type:
export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
> export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim 
every single time in terminal. Then i can run firefox with scim.
