If you like, I can install the same on my Gentoo box, and see if it just
works. (Only I don't know what XIM is / etc.) If you tell me what to
emerge, and what to run / expect, I can check it for you on Gentoo.

I have ssh access to a Fedora box. I tried the utf-8 branch on it.
Catting files worked perfectly. However I haven't tried any XIM stuff.
I can try whatever I do on my Gentoo box on the Fedora box, *provided* I
don't have to install anything there. (I compiled mrxvt / mrxvt-utf8 on
the Fedora box, but don't have the patience to trace dependencies and
compile by hand some random Gnome package...)

PS: One thing I found quite useful for testing was kvm / vmware. I
    recall someone posting a bug that was only reproducible under
    Enlightenment, which I certainly didn't want to install on my Gentoo
    laptop. But running the live CD under kvm was quite painless.
