Usually this is the minibuffer, making the minibuffer unreadable unless it is resized. If the minibuffer is split off into its own frame, then the status bar for the bottom window is totally covered up, although the xim menu in the separate minibuffer window is correctly placed on its own line. Usually the XIM menu is placed within one character of the left side of the window on top of the minibuffer line or status bar. If the window is stretched horizontally, it seems to keep a fixed position from the right side, so at least a part of the minibuffer becomes usable. This bug can be worked around by disabling XIM completely, either with the configure option --without-xim at compile time, or by setting the X resource emacs*useXIM: false It would be nice if there was an option to control placement of the XIM menu, but at the very least, this placement bug should be fixed. This bug was exhibited by both the blastwave precompiled version (below) and the latest version (23.1.3?) compiled from sources on the same platform.
