I dunno how this program works but maybe you find something useful here:

http://code.google.com/p/scim-googlepinyin/issues/list
http://code.google.com/p/scim-googlepinyin/wiki/install

I would also try to launch the app from another non-root user (different 
from the one you use to login) just to see if it fails only with root or 
with any other plain user :-?
