According to scim official site (
http://www.scim-im.org/wiki/documentation/installation_and_configuration/all/system_configuration
),
it describes the disadvantages of XIM like below :

"Because the XIM protocol has a lot of limitations (for example, it may
freeze your entire X when something goes wrong with the input method
server), this combination of settings is generally not recommended.

Higher level input method protocol support

Alternatively to the above method, you can ask your GTK/Qt applications to
make use of the GTK/Qt im-module, which are specifically designed to meet
modern input method requirements."


ATM, the difference is that

the scim immodule I've sent displays the candidate window in the
appropriate position (the below line of cursor), but XIM doesn't.

(In GTK application, XIM module of GTK doesn't display the candidate window
in the normal position.)

Thanks.
