A fresh gutsy install should have "/FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic"
set to false. I don't know why your system isn't the case. Maybe
you used an old home directory?

As far as I know, if you use "im-switch -s scim-immodule"
to change the scim settings, you don't need to worry about
the "/FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic" value unless you use some
non-GTK and non-Qt applications. The "/FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic"
should only affect XIM mode.
