Right. It does not change the GTK_IM_MODULE variable persistently, so if you re-login it's all reset. But if you simply start gedit with that command and start typing, it should work. One way to make the workaround persistent on an Ubuntu system (don't know about Debian) is to put a wrapper in the ~/bin folder: $ cat ~/bin/gedit #!/bin/sh export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim exec /usr/bin/gedit "$@" and make the file executable with chmod +x ~/bin/gedit Then, however gedit is started, the GTK_IM_MODULE will be 'xim' in the gedit process instead of 'scim', and the backspace and delete keys will work as expected.
