This may lead you to library conflict issues under some unstable update
condition as describen in SCIM package. The firefox problem mentioned
in the other thread is the one. Following will avoid hitting this issue
with minor loss of functionality:
GTK_IM_MODULE="xim"
QT_IM_MODULE="xim"

??? Why you make such complicated locale setting.
I use simple LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (defult English install). Judging from your
name, you may not be as comfortable as me to read messages in Japanese.
(I actually do not use Japanese messabge while having full capability to
use Japanese input and display.)
If it is to activate SCIM under LANG=en_US.UTF-8, you should have
played with im-switch.
Did you read link mentioned in my im-switch package?

Also I am updating Debian Reference.

Why not do this by running im-swtch from the root. Chose scim-immodule if
you insist immodule use despite warning :-)
