Okay I can reproduce this now.  SCIM (the standard XIM program for
Gnome) fails on all versions of Emacs, including Emacs 21, if the
given version (2.12+) of gnome-settings-daemon is running.  I can also
verify that SCIM works perfectly without gnome-settings-daemon; in
particular, in other desktop environments.  This is probably a Gnome
bug.

The bug report entered into the Gnome bugzilla database has not
received a reply.  If there is still no reply in the next couple days,
I'll email the Gnome lists directly.

I think we should not delay the Emacs pretest for this.
