968*** C-SPC fails to work on Fedora GNU/Linux.
969
970Fedora Core 4 steals the C-SPC key by default for the `iiimx' program
971which is the input method for some languages. It blocks Emacs users
972from using the C-SPC key for `set-mark-command'.
973
974One solutions is to remove the `<Ctrl>space' from the `Iiimx' file
975which can be found in the `/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults' directory.
976However, that requires root access.
977
978Another is to specify `Emacs*useXIM: false' in your X resources.

980Another is to build Emacs with the `--without-xim' configure option.
