How you read the i18n FAQ? :)

The only supported way to enable IM in Fedora Core 3 is using
"xinput.d/".  It is enabled by default for CIJK.

If you're using say en_US.UTF-8 you need to use im-switch or the
instructions in the faq to make a symlink from ~/.xinput/en_US to
/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/iiim to have iiim working.
