Install and use ibus-skk on wheezy

Debian

I installed Debian wheezy with English environment. So there is no input-method, such as Anthy, ATOK. I would like to use SKK not only Emacs but other application. Then, I search and select ibus-skk which is one of the SKK implementations to use SKK on Operating System.
My procedure is below.

  1. su -
  2. apt-get install ibus-skk
  3. reboot OS
  4. Activities->Applications->IBus Preferences
  5. Host asks whether enables ibus or not at the first time when launch IBus Preferences, click yes or OK---I forgot
  6. Select Input Method tab
  7. Click pull down button of Select an input method
  8. Select Japanese->SKK
  9. Click Add and Close

And then, add following lines to $HOME/.bashrc

export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

Next, add following line to $HOME/.xprofile

ibus-daemon -drx

After these steps, input-method icon would be added to the task bar.
Clicking this icon toggle SKK on and off.
