For anyone having to use scim in a non-CJK session, there's an interting bug opened here :

Not tested, because it's not an Ubuntu default and I wouldn't be qualified enough to revert my Dapper intall to default in order to test the (hopefully) fixes that would be released.

However, that's still doesn't solve the bug - the fact is language-support-"CJK language" doesn't set up a way to input the language (unless you choe a session in that language, which is not really a multi-lingual environment).
