Thanks, it works. And sorry for wasting your time instead of following the
release notes more carefully.

What fooled me was that the im-chooser window has one option saying "Follow the
system-wide configuration [SCIM]" and the the fourth "Use custum input method
scim". 

Since both said SCIM, I did not expect one to behave differently than the other.
It might have been better if the text of the fourth option mentioned "for all
locales" or somthing like that.
