scim does not works with 32bit firefox on ubuntu AMD64

I installed 32bit firefox on ubuntu 7.04 AMD64 to make flash player and
java plugin work, it seems all the plugins work fine, but the big
problem is that scim does not work. When I execute 32bit firefox, it
complains that:

(firefox-bin:21563): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules
/im-scim.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(firefox-bin:21563): Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type 'scim'
failed

First I tried to export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim then executed firefox. It
quieted and scim panel appeared, but I can't change to any input method
rather that "English/European", so I still could type English only. What
I want is to make chewing work, which is a Chinese input method on scim.

Then I extracted `ia32-libs-scim` package in edgy repository and put the
shared objects to /usr/lib32 and firefox saied "Segment fault(core
dumped)". (There's no ia32-libs-scim package in feisty repository, I
don't know why.)

I also tried to use i386 version `libscim8c2a` and `scim-gtk2-immodule`
packages in feisty i386 repository, but firefox still core dumped.

I wonder if ubuntu can put an ia32-firefox into ubuntu AMD64 repository
for convenience because there are too many problems to work with 64bit
firefox. There's no sun-java plugin for 64bit firefox and blackdown is
too old (ver 1.4.2). There's no adobe flash player for 64bit firefox and
GPL flash nearly no use. NSPluginwrapper works with flash player but
it's unstable and it does not work on some websites. For example,
http://www.wretch.cc uses a flash media player like the one in youtube
but nspluginwrapper-flash does not work with wretch.cc player.
Furthermore, nspluginwrapper does not support java plugin.

Gentoo already provides a 32bit firefox in there repository for a long
time, I hope ubuntu can provides it as well.
