I didn't find it that helpful. The general IIIMF FAQ at 
http://www.openi18n.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=105&page=1   was much more useful.

Done. I now have Gnome Terminal sailing along quite well. Haven't
sorted out all the tricks with IIIMF yet, but I am much closer to seeing
off kterm.

FWIW, the launch string for Gnome Terminal becomes:

	env XMODIFIERS=@example.com GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim gnome-terminal
