In addition, the input method seems to only transform per kanji only, so words with more than one kanji need to be typed one by one.
BTW, is there Anthy for MSCIM ?
This setup seems to work with Chinese far more than Japanese. I ended up removing it and installing the maemocjk-him-scim-anthy package. I'd love it if they were unified, but most of the work was done on these almost a year ago.

My workaround, as a whole, was after installing made sure the environment variable "GTK_IM_MODULE" was not set on bootup, which lets me keep my symbol table (since SCIM isn't catching it) and instead the handful of applications I use regularly in Japanese (mostly EBView) I use with a startup script that sets it, and lets me type in Japanese directly into the application (I hit ctrl+space to flip between English and Japanese.)
