scim and xorg

where do i place the following to enable scim usage?

export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export XIM_PROGRAM="scim -d"
export GTK_IM_MODULE="xim"
export QT_IM_MODULE="xim"

seems like X no longer uses ~/.xinitrc as a startup point… maybe /etc/profile.d?

Yes, that should work. I place my global environment variables in the /etc/profile.d/local.sh file preceded with #!/bin/sh,

making sure the executable attribute is set as well and it should export them apon startup or running it manually.
