Under Hardy Heron Beta the situation is still the same.

I tested with two different XIM engines, gcin and scim-chewing. Both of
them were able to input Chinese characters in gedit. However, they are
somewhat different. When typing in gcin, a floating window (though
without borders) created near the caret displays the entered text, and
allowing us to choose the characters. Hitting enter sends out the whole
buffer to the application. When using scim-chewing with gedit, text was
not shown in a separate window, but in the editing area, with recently
entered characters underlined. Hitting enter sends out the buffer and
removes the underline.

Ctrl + Space is the default hotkey for switching Chinese input on and
off.

When using gcin: When typing in the "Leave message" text area, English
characters are fine. Ctrl + Space switches on the Chinese input, though
we are unable to tell. Keystrokes are sent to gcin (supposedly displayed
in an unseen window) and nothing is added to the textarea. Upon hitting
enter and sending out the buffer, the Chinese text appears in the text
area. However, users do not get the chance to choose the characters.

When using scim-chewing: In the "Leave message" text area, I was unable
to switch to Chinese mode. Hitting "a" produces "a", Ctrl + Space has no
effect, and hitting "a" again enters "a" into the text area. I was only
able to enter English characters.
