There is, pretty much. I don't think it's floated out into the distros
yet, but testers are reporting success with it. If you like, I can get
some more information about it... I have a terrible feeling it'll need
a QT recompile though.

The problem I have (unless I'm looking in the wrong place) is that the
SCIM package in Debian/unstable is only 0.9.7 and the uim mailing list
tells me that I need SCIM 0.9.9 to use it in on top of UIM.

Personally, I'm looking forward to dispensing with XIM, and using GTK+,
QT and OpenOffice UIM interfaces, and uim-fep for my console windows.
