I withdraw my bug report #350415. The problem is not with scim but primarily in icewm (and to some extent in im-switch). And it affects not only scim, but also uim, if you want it started as a systray icon.
If you use icewm, both scim and uim must not be started in the way im-switch does, otherwise you can only see the systray icon after a cold start. With some other window managers, e.g. fluxbox, it works OK. For icewm, a work-around is: -- comment out the last line (which actually starts scim or uim) in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90im-switch -- put in ~/.icewm/startup a line with scim -d (or for uim: uim-gtk-toolbar-systray& ).
