Do people think it makes sense for this flag to be per-display?
If so, can someone do it?

I'd guess so, but I don't know enough about X, and XIM in particular.
I basically just converted compile-time conditionals to runtime, so
that people didn't need advice to recompile Emacs.

I think it needs to be done in a resource to be turned off early
enough, but I don't know for sure.  I doubt there's a lot of use for
multiple displays, but anyone with a need can hack on it now.  (I
advertised that I'd done it in the unicode branch some time ago and
asked emacs-devel if someone would look at it and adapt it, but there
was no interest.)
