For Gnome there is uim-applet-gnome, and for KDE there is uim-kdehelper.

uim-kdehelper isn't in debian but you can use the repository below;
deb http://everybody.good-day.net/~ikuya/debian/sarge/uim-kdehelper ./

uim-kdehelper is pretty simple, and not as polished as SCIM's input applet, 
but works all the same. (^_^)
