Virtualbox “failed to create XIM input context”

When using Fedora installed in a virtualbox VM to remote connect to a linux host, some applications may crush when opening a menu with the error “failed to create XIM input context”. This is because VirtualBox does not handle scim well.
A simple workaround is to put in a line
export QT_IM_MODULE=gcin
in the
.bashrc
file of your remote linux host, then the menu will communicate with gcin, and you will be fine.
