If you don't understand bug #34851, that's okay (it's not very clear after all). But I would appreciate if you can install edgy and test there.
If you can confirm that scim-uim works for edgy, then we can discuss how to fix this in dapper. There are two options: asking for a backport (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports); or asking for a stable release update (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates). I can help you on these procedures, but I don't have any Ubuntu machine right now, so I need someone to test and make sure scim-uim works on edgy first.
