Description of problem: XIM (X Input Method protocol) is pretty intrusive for Emacs users specially for SCIM which defaults to using C-Space as its hotkey, and anyway Emacs provides its own superior builtin input methods designed for native input. I propose that we turn off XIM by default Emacs for fedora. It can still be enabled by users using the X resource useXIM. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Emacs with SCIM enabled. 2. Press C-Space Actual results: 2. SCIM is enabled Expected results: 2. mark to be set Additional info: Emacs is capable of input most major Asian languages adequately by itself and also can support has package that support anthy, scim-bridge and uim via elisp, therefore is no need to have XIM enabled by default any longer.
I think configuring the build with "--without-xim" should be sufficient to do this.
I thought building with --without-xim doesn't allow people to turn it on again with X resource.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
We shouldn't take a mistake again on this change. just noticed that '--without-xim' option broke a dead key support on emacs earlier. see Bug #224626.
