Yeah, skim works fine for me for a long time now (because it is correctly configured).
Currently there's two ways to get scim, skim, pinyin working under Kubuntu: Way #1: Install Ubuntu first, and then enable Chinese and "complex script input support", and then install kubuntu-desktop (then KDE sessions will automatically have input methods by Ctrl+Space). Way #2: Choose Chinese during Kubuntu installation (not after installation). For Kubuntu 7.10, this will lead to a login window containing broken Chinese characters. 8.04 Beta reportedly has solved this bug. But all in all, I think way #1 is more flexible because many people want to be free to switch system locale. I also find Kubuntu/KDE's concepts extremely confusing: "Installed Languages", "System Language", "Default Language", "Added Languages". It should have a simple language-selector user interface as seen in Ubuntu and Fedora: a simple list of available languages, with checkboxes before them meaning whether a language is enabled (when enabling a language, the system automatically installs it if it's not yet installed). And if Chinese is enabled, the system automatically enables Chinese input support. I think this should be the way Kubuntu/KDE handles things.
