You should install im-switch or im-config to get easier time
configuring. I admit new im-config needs update to cover skim but
installing im-switch should give you configuration. Then follow
documentation in /usr/share/doc/im-switch/

Sourcing ~/.bashrc does not work for programs started by menu as I
understand. So this is not the best solution.
We as Debian puts glue layer for user. Although you have power to
override it, please do not advatize methods which break thigs for
Debian. There are many documentation in /usr/share/doc/scim and
/usr/share/doc/skim . Please read them. If they are wrong, please file
bug report.
Thanks.
