I solved the problem by selecting xim with im-config. The default wheezy installation was giving 2 valid choices, here is an extractfrom im-config:
Current configuration for the input method: * Active configuration: xim (normally missing) * Automatic configuration: uim (normally ibus or fcitx or uim) * Number of valid choices: 2 (normally 1) The configuration set by im-config is activated by re-starting X. Explicit selection is not required to enable the automatic configuration if the active one is default/auto/cjkv/missing. Available input methods: uim xim Unless you really need them all, please make sure to install only one input method tool.
