Try UIM

Debian

iBus makes SKK private dictionary reset, so I look for other IME. Then, I found uim-skk.
Installing UIM is easy.

  1. su -
  2. apt-get update
  3. apt-get install uim
  4. apt-get install uim-skk

After installed above packages, edit ~/.xprofile. In my environment, ~/.xinitrc doesn't work.

if type uim-xim &> /dev/null ; then
    uim-xim &
fi
export XMODIFIERS='@im=uim'
export GTK_IM_MODULE='uim'
export UIM_IM_ENGINE='skk'
uim-toolbar-gtk &
uim-toolbar-gtk-systray &

Reference site is Uim を使って日本語を入力 - ArchWiki. The commands uim-toolbar-gtk and uim-toolbar-gtk-systray are different versions per GUI modules. My desktop is GTK2 base, so using uim-toolbar-gtk and uim-toolbar-gtk-systray.
