Hi,

Instead of creating you own XIM Server using IMDKit (which is out of 
date technology) , you can try to use the Input Method Framework "im-sdk", which 
is the successor of IMDKit available at:

http://www.openi18n.org/IIIMF

You can download the latest tarball and install in your machine and check it.

- There is a GTK-IM module (iiimgcf) which allows GTK+ Client to directly
  talk to IIIM Server bypassing XIM.

- There are variety of Language Engine framework/template comes with it. You must be
  able to enable your language support with minimum effort. 

- There is a generic language engine framework "UNIT" with which you add your
  language support by adding 'key mapping table' (composition sequence mapping
  table).

Please let me know if you need more information. 

Thanks and Regards,
Sriram.
