like me to tell you what I did, and what works and what doesn't work now
on my desktop?

Please do.  Please if you can report all the settings you did and the
packages you had to install.

Note that I was attempting to install Japanese, not Chinese. Some of what I
did was specific to Japanese and you would need to change those to Chinese if
you decided to try the same method. Also possibly relevant, I am running KDE
3.5.10 on Debian Lenny. I seem to remember that you are using Gnome.

This is what I did:

# aptitude install anthy anthy-el libanthy0 scim-anthy kasumi
scim-bridge-agent scim-bridge-client-gtk scim-bridge-client-qt
scim-bridge-client-qt4 scim-m17n scim-qtimm scim-tables-additional
scim-tables-ja libskim0 skim

All on one line - but my KMail setting won't allow it. The things I know to
be specific to Japanese are anthy, kasumi and scim-tables-ja. I know that
there is a scim-tables-zh, but I am afraid that I do not know the Chinese
equivalents of the others.

I had the following error message:

dpkg: libgd2-noxpm: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you request:
libgraphviz4 depends on libgd2-noxpm (>= 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg) | libgd2-xpm (>=
2.0.36~rc1~dfsg); however:
Package libgd2-noxpm is to be removed.
Package libgd2-xpm is not installed.
(Reading database ... 137853 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing libgd2-noxpm

so I installed libgd2-xpm.

I added the following lines to /etc/profile:

export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
export QT_IM_MODULE=scim
scim -f socket -c socket -d

I enabled system tray on my panel so that the icon which had by now appeared
would be visible, right-clicked on it, which brought up a list
including "configure", and clicked on configure.

I then made the following alterations to the default:
Front end -> general scim -> toggle on/off -> I deleted everything except
control+space. I also looked at the keyboard layout, but it was already
correctly set to English (UK), so I left well alone.

Then in IMEngines -> global settings I unticked (unchecked) everything except
Japanese. I had to do this twice, because I failed to notice the elevator at
the side of the window and only unticked those I could already see. :-(

Then I rebooted.

I can now use control+space to toggle between English and Japanese in all K*
programs, OpenOffice.org and Iceweasel (Firefox). I have also tried in
Abiword. It obviously works, but the input is less straightforward, so I
gave up.

I hope that I have not left anything out!

If I have not made anything clear enough, or if you hit any problems that I
may have hit and needed to solve, feel free to ask.
