After some deliberate watching, the problem seems not to be creeping in again.
I am still using the old versions.

Not deliberately, as in "I didn't installed and enabled input methods,
or maybe, if I did, I did without knowing, via some intermediate
thing".

I will double check when I get home, since scim sounds familiar.

I suppose the simplest method of disabling scim, if any, is to remove
the homonym package.

But what about XIM? How do I check if have it installed/enabled? How
do I disable it?
