Two widgets that accept text input (namely XmText and XmTextField) do support it, but they don’t feature multibyte support. This means you can use sequences such as Multi_key+c+o to get ©, Multi_key+n+~ to get the ñ, etc.. These work because they’re part of the ISO Latin 1 character set, which is based on one-byte representations. The XmText and XmTextField widgets can handle input methods, as described above, but they don’t have multibyte support. This means that Asian input methods which work with a multi-byte representation of a character will not work (yet). The XmIm*() API is work in progress, this is probably not a problem for you as we have yet to discover an application that uses it.
