I've had many problems with SCIM too, such as capturing almost all my input. Using UIM too, works neatly and allows you to do input on terminal window instead of little popup. Seems to freeze urxvt rarely however. 2011/10/6 Caio A. Prado <cagprado@gmail.com>:

Can scim work with uxterm/urxvt? If so, could somebody help me to make them work together, please? Of course, I have been throught wiki and googling but nothing helps.
I’ve been through this some time ago and nothing seemed to work (urxvt in my case). I haven’t tried newer releases (last scim release was last august). Actually I gave it up as scim had some problems with gtk3 in addition to this one with urxvt. Now I’m working with uim. Pretty straightforward installation and no real difference in input. There is one problem though with transparency (depth 32) in urxvt: you can’t see the characters with on the spot input until you accept them. Anyway, if you’re not too attached to scim this may solve your problem.
