I use the same setup as Bin, and feel I should add that with GTK_IM everything works ok, but I'm often using non-GTK applications (notably xterm) for inputting text, so there's not really an alternative to XIM.
But given that "toggled off" is really the same as toggled on using the "English/European" IME (and I would just always use that, if it wasn't for the panel window that I find annoying; I'd like to be able to suppress it and just use the tray icon for status display and configuration...) - I don't think it should be too difficult to make this work for XIM mode as well; at the moment, it's a bug, really...
