I remember someone reported us such errors, and Masanari fixed. So
please try new uim. (I'll release 0.4.3 in 24 hours.)

Personally (note, it's not consensus of committers) I'm not thinking
SCIM should be the front-end of uim, though I'm recognizing that
scim-uim is worth at some points. I'll write about this topic tomorrow.

I recommend scim if you type Chinese. And, from the point of view of
consistency, I recommend scim-uim for you to type Japanese right now.
