Where are environmental variables like XMODIFIERS set?

can someone tell me which file contains the startup values for the following environmental variables: GTK_IM_MODULE, QT_IM_MODULE, XIM_PROGRAM", and XMODIFIERS?

i’m trying to configure my scim/skim settings.

cheers,

My work environment:
** SOFTWARE **
KDE: 3.5.10 “release 33.1”
OS: openSUSE 11.1 (i586)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.27.7-9-pae i686

Ok, I think I solved my problem. The values can apparently be set by either:

(1) editing the file /etc/sysconfig/language and setting INPUT_METHOD (is usually “”); or

(2) editing the file ~/.xim (or creating it if nonexistent).
