Yes, for an end user, if want to switch from ibus to scim,
all he(she) can think about it is to install scim and see if this works.
but if scim was installed, system still use ibus,
he(she) would try to unstall ibus.
But if we set ibus priority to 60, and not install scim by default,
he(she) can easily switch to scim,
maybe he will find that scim didn't fit his need, just remove scim,
and it's OK to return to ibus.

If openSUSE have an input method switch system(like ubuntu and debian
have a command : im-switch)
that the priority should really indicate the priority.
cause ibus fit the most general usage, so when no "user-define"
input-method was set, ibus should load automatically.
But openSUSE have not such tool, (yes, I know I can set "export
INPUT_METHOD="your_choice""
in ~./profile to specify input-method I need)
we have to do something convenience for end user,that is:
let user's newly installed input-method get the high priority (smaller number).

or, maybe we should develop a small ui tool,(or port im-switch to
openSUSE) let users can easily switch their input-method.
