GTK_IM_METHOD

From man scim:

GTK+ applications can use many different modules to connect with
input methods, and SCIM can work in two different modes to pro-
vide input methods to GTK+ with two different modules. One is
XIM mode, using the "xim" GTK IM module from GTK+ itself. The
other is GTK IM mode, using the "scim" GTK IM module provided by
SCIM platform. The environment variable GTK_IM_MODULE is used
by GTK+ to specify which GTK IM module the application should
use, to use SCIM's two modes, set GTK_IM_MODULE to "xim" or
"scim" accordingly.
