SCIM input method can communicate via several path with application.
SCIM used with immodule (GTK_IM_MODULE=scim) works.  SCIM communicating
through XIM mechanism (GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM) does not
work.

This is UIM via XIM.  THis is not Qt issue.

Just to be sure.  gedit is the only broken program.  Everything else works
fine.  Does gedit use GtkEntry too?

Yes.

under GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, XMODIFIERS=@im=uim, above program works fine just
like any other aplications while gedit still freezes.
