If you know exactly what makes sense as far as turning it on and off, you've found better XIM documentation than I have, and I'd be interested in a pointer. > In my experience, very few users are familiar with X resources. > So at least we should include an example how to do this at the > proper place in PROBLEMS, e.g. > > For example, you can use the option ``-xrm "useXIM: false"'' when > you start emacs. If the doc on X resources in the manual isn't sufficiently easy to find or understand, I think that's what needs fixing.
