[Bug 434730] Re: Cannot invoke XIM input method

This bug affects more people than those who have an English language
desktop and need to type Chinese.

I found the problem while trying to type in Devanagari in Emacs.  The
language I was aiming for was Sanskrit but the problem would also occur
with Hindi or Marathi or Nepali or any other language using Devanagari
for its script.  Actually, the problem would happen for any user wanting
to toggle scim in Emacs.  I would have the same issue when trying to
type Tibetan and, yes, when trying to type Chinese.

Besides this:

$ LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8" emacs

the following also works:

$ LC_CTYPE="hi_IN" emacs

If either of these invocations are used, all of scim's input methods
appear.

Emacs does have its down input methods but I'd like to use the same
method across applications rather than have to treat emacs as a special
case.
