Thanks for your suggestion.

The rxvt's cahngelog says
        If the user didn't specify an IM then we should still try to
        connect with "im=none" in case a base IM service is used for
        items like dead keys in single char glyph locales
so it seems for me that all we have to do is to create XIM and use XmbLookupString().

As XmbLookupString() requires a valid XIC to work, please check whether
an mlterm which is configured with an --enable-debug option putputs 
"WARN: [create_xic()] XIC activated."
on its startup.
