Was changing window managers and discovered that the problem with gnucash and the scim daemon on my system is specific to the setting of GTK_IM_MODULE. If it is set to "xim" gnucash editing is broken (arrows, delete/backspace), if it is set to "scim" then it appears to work fine.

My understanding is that scim is supposed to be able to work with xim (and it apparently does for my other apps), though I don't recall why I set it up this way years ago as it does not appear to be necessary for my current usage. In any case, switching so:

   GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"

appears to solve my problem, though the bug is still there, this appears to make it a non-issue for me. Perhaps this may give some clues to make it easier to track down the problem.

FWIW.
