I assume you're using gdm to start X.  If so, and you're using a
gdm2-2.4.4.x, then you can create a ~/.xprofile file that contains
Bourne-shell like initializations.  For example:

XMODIFIERS=@im=chinput ; export XMODIFIERS

And that should carry into your X session (note: this can also go in
~/.prolfile).
