XIM Input Method for Motif Gvim

Hi,
I have recently been working on the Motif GUI and noticed, that my gvim
always show XIM INSERT, when in insert mode. I keep reading :h xim and
mbyte-XIM, but I seem to be missing something. So my questions are:

1) Why is XIM enabled by default?
2) How do I use it?
3) And most importantly: How do I turn if off?

Thanks

regards,
Christian
