Good, good.  Exactly the situation I know the workaround for. :-)

What you really need to do is only change the /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic
option in your ~/.scim/config to true.  However it's a little tricky as
scim always rewrite its configuration files on exit.  So I give the
following complicated procedure for the workaround:

1. Set scim not to start automatically: run "im-switch -s none".  Log
out and re-login.

2. Edit your ~/.scim/config configuration file, change the
/FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic option to true.

3. Reset scim to start automatically: run "im-switch -s scim-pinyin".
Log out and re-login.

Now there shouldn't be keyboard input lock-up anymore.  However this
breaks deadkeys used in a lot of European keyboard layout.  Although if
you only need to input Chinese and English, deadkeys should not be a
concern to you.

Please report back whether this workaround works for you or not.
Thanks.
