use_xim is 1, but FRAME_X_XIM (f) is NULL when create_frame_xic is
called.  As a result, the "if(xim)" test at line 2315 in xfns.c fails,
xic does not get allocated, and FRAME_XIC(f) remains NULL at the end of
the function.

Grepping for FRAME_X_XIM doesn't show me where it is supposed to be set,
so I assume the relevant struct member gets assigned directly somewhere.
Where should that be happening?

xim_open_dpy never gets called.
xim_initialize does; dpyinfo->xim is NULL both at the beginning and at
the end of the function.

Any suggestions on where to look next?

Thanks for your time,
