im-switch -s scim-bridge
will do it.

I have tested only with XKB layouts provided by the layout switcher
gnome applet. When scim is in English mode, "dead keys" don't work.
I.e. normally hitting the "dead key" (e.g. ') followed by a letter (e.g.
e) would produce the accented letter (é in this case). With scim-bridge
two codepoints (´e) are sent.

"Dead keys" work when using scim-immodule and xim (with Dynamic = true).
So, if you can fix this, then we might be able to use scim-bridge by
default.

Cheers
Arne
