You are write. I just write to confirm that gnustep application in xlib 
also does not support XIM. This would be a big problem because it seems 
gnustep also doesn't support iiimf, which means there are no way for 
Asian and a lot other people in the world to use gnustep as daily 
environment (instead of just toys). I would suggest this top priority if 
somebody has time to solve it.
