X session errors caused by enabling SCIM

Description of problem:
After updating libgxim to release 0.3.2-4.fc10, xterm shows some regression:
when running a program with a noticeable amount of text output (e.g. 'ls -R
/'), then imsettings-applet starts grabbing a significant amount of CPU share
of up to 10%. Note that SCIM is disabled at this point.
After opening GNOME menu item "Input Method" and enabling SCIM which is
disabled by default, xterm does not accept any input from the keyboard anymore
unlike gnome-terminal which continues to do so.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libgxim-0.3.2-4.fc10.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open GNOME session.
2. Start a program in an xterm window producing text output.
3. Run 'top' in a different window.
4. Open "Input Method" from GNOME menu and enable SCIM.

Actual results:
- Noticeable CPU load caused by imsettings-applet.
- Xterm unresponsive after enabling SCIM via "Input Method" dialog window.

Expected results:
Normal behaviour of xterm just as gnome-terminal.

Additional info:
Reverting libgxim to release 0.3.1-1.fc10 allows to restore normal operation.
