Here's what localedrake wrote in ~/.i18n when I selected Italian as the 
language, Japan as the country and SCIM as the input method in the current 
cooker.

--------------------------------

After editing /etc/scim/global as follows, all installed input methods became 
available in Qt applications as well.

/SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_US.UTF-8,it_IT.UTF-8

I'm not sure if this is what you were asking and things might be different in 
9.1 ...
