Install scim-qtimm and skim.

Configure it. ENV vars:

XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
QT_IM_SWITCHER=imsw-multi
QT_IM_MODULE=scim
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Make sure your LANG is listed in /etc/scim/global:

/SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_US.UTF-8

Configure it for KDE apps:

/DefaultConfigModule = kconfig
/DefaultPanelProgram = /usr/bin/scim-panel-kde

Refresh the list of modules (this helped my problems wit Open Office):

gtk-query-immodules-2.0 > /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules

It should start working.

Best regards,
David
