SCIM support in XFCE

Can SCIM support be enabled somehow in XFCE (thunar, other gtk apps, etc)?

To enable SCIM add to /etc/gdm/Xsession, after 'echo "$0: Beginning session setup..."
the three following lines:
------
export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
exec scim -d &
------

This will make SCIM running as a daemon in the background of XFCE.

Re: SCIM support in XFCE

Just a follow up though. This caused thunderbird to fail, but I found a fix.

With the above instructions, use "xim" instead of "scim",

GTK_IM_MODULE="xim"
