I did have to install the "im-switch" package in debian; SCIM didn't
work at all, for any app, before then.

Here's the output of im-switch -l in case that has some relevance:

   $ im-switch -l
   Your input method setup under ja_JP locale as below.
   =======================================================
   The configuration "/home/miles/.xinput.d/ja_JP" is defined as a link pointing to
   scim
   This private configuration supersedes the system wide default.
   =======================================================
   The system wide default is pointed by "/etc/alternatives/xinput-ja_JP" .
   xinput-ja_JP - auto mode
     link currently points to scim-immodule
   scim - priority 0
   scim-immodule - priority 50
   Current 'best' version is 'scim-immodule'.
   =======================================================
   The available input method configuration files are:
   default default-xim lo-gtk none scim scim-immodule th-gtk th-xim 
   =======================================================
