Scim makes Vuescan crash at launch

[Alban-2]

Hi all,

I'm using Vuescan ( www.hamrick.com ) software for my scanning needs on Linux (Mandriva 2008). I happen to live in China and use scim for typing Chinese.
The problem is that when scim is installed, if I try to launch Vuescan I get the following errors (see output afterwards).

I tried creating a new user and removing any mention of scim/skim in my ~/.i18n file, then launching Vuescan : it works !

Is there something scim could do for allowing me to use vuescan with my normal user ? Or can I set exceptions to prevent Vuescan to try to use scim ?
