Are you using 64 bit Fedora? If so the you may still have a problem with libgxim-0.3.2-4.fc10, the 32 bit version seems to have patched the problem but lots of people in 64 bit still have trouble with it. So far there are two fixes: 1) remove all parts of SCIM and any dependencies, disabling it is usually not enough but you are welcome to try. 2)remove whatever version of libgxim you have and any dependencies you need to. Then reboot and test your text input. Feel free to try just one fix or the other, but most people have needed to do both.
