I don't know if things have changed, but it wasn't something distros were 
taking care of in 2007. on kubuntu I got scim (and later sKim) working by 
installing a bunch of packages that looked like they might be related, and 
editing several config files based on instructiions I found online (it took 
several tries to figure out which set of instructions would work for me). how I 
got it to autostart as well I *still* don't understand... and I think it was 
around the time of the 4.0 release that I tried to make it work in kde4 but 
gave up.

I'm not sure if it's something a mere applet can set up for users, though - it 
requires env vars to be set, which I did with a script in .kde/env/
