With "offthespot", Emacs tells the input method to display itself on the
bottom right corner of the frame. The XIM documentation calls this
"displaying the pre-edit information in an area provided by the client".
With "root", the input method has free rein, but each input method
should display itself in a unique spot of the display (i.e. one not
taken up by another input method).
