Description of problem:
XIM (X Input Method protocol) is pretty intrusive for Emacs users specially for
SCIM which defaults to using C-Space as its hotkey, and anyway Emacs provides
its own superior builtin input methods designed for native input.  I propose
that we turn off XIM by default Emacs for fedora.  It can still be enabled by
users using the X resource useXIM.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Emacs with SCIM enabled.
2. Press C-Space

Actual results:
2. SCIM is enabled

Expected results:
2. mark to be set

Additional info:
Emacs is capable of input most major Asian languages adequately by itself and
also can support has package that support anthy, scim-bridge and uim via elisp,
therefore is no need to have XIM enabled by default any longer.
