Not any really great ones, but you could check your environmental variables
(type "env" on the command line) to make sure they are right (environmental
variables can be overridden depending on the read order of files they are in).
XIM_PROGRAM=scim -d
QT_IM_MODULE=scim
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
(I am not using scim-bridge, I think it is just a way to work around C++
version issues, which you shouldn't have in Debian)
Also, are you using Debian stable or testing or what?
In the scim setup window, does your input method have its own listing under
"IMEngine"? If so, does it have an on/off or trigger setting that
agrees with the
"global setup" setting? (I am not sure this is needed, but that is how mine is.)
