No.  In fact, XIM is one of the options in that list.  Perhaps you
should try it.  ;-)

Gtk+ has its own implementation of input methods, one of which is a
bridge to X11 XIM.  The popular complex input methods these days
mostly have native Gtk+ input modules, but some holdouts (e.g.,
kinput2) still require the old XIM bridge.  Note that Qt also has its
own specification for input methods, and a similar situation.
Unfortunately, XIM is plagued by a number of protocol issues, so we're
left with wheels being invented all over the place.
