[CentOS] how to disable scim

Hello:

I keep getting these

  An IOException occurred at 
scim_bridge_client_imcontext_set_cursor_location ()

messages -- and I'd like to turn them off.  I won't mind having scim 
just plain turned off.
However, in using Google, I find a hint such as "right click on the 
tray, ..." -- so where's
the tray?  A second part of that hint suggested using 
System:Administration:Language
Support -- there's a "Language" (which allows me to select my default 
language) but
nothing about scim.

So, any hints about how to nuke scim?

Regards,
Chip Campbell
