If I want im-switch to be installed to as many system as possible, it better to set IM to none (i.e., not with UIM nor SCIM.) for non CJK languages and better not to touch IM for other locales other than ones defined. Let me think a bit more like "im-switch -a -s" to set for all locales. That should solve your desire to set once for all locales.
