Have you tried SCIM (http://ns.turbolinux.com.cn/~suzhe/scim/index.html)?
It works perfectly under *any* UTF-8 locale (I and Mike Fabian made the suggestion
to the author to make it so under any UTF-8 locale, not just the CJK UTF-8 locales,
and James Su, the author, implemented the suggestion in a very short time!).
It seems to work flawlessly for typing Chinese into KDE apps and Mozilla: I haven't
really tried it for other Gnome/GTK+-based apps, but SCIM itself uses GTK+ and integrates
into the Gnome desktop, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.  I have some brief notes
and screen shots of SCIM in action at http://eyegene.ophthy.med.umich.edu/unicode/#scim.
