Hello,
I know this is pretty vague, but just in case someone happens to have a clue
offhand what's up:
XEmacs 21.5.28 reportedly aborts with an assertion failure if "uim"
(http://code.google.com/p/uim/) is installed and one tries to click the menu
bar or open a new frame. I don't have experience with uim nor an environment
to test this with available at the moment. More details at:

I don't see how this can happen if XEmacs is built --without-xim.
Suggest to the OP to try that.
IMO, this is harmless because XIM is a horrible way to do input in
XEmacs (and maybe Emacs). The toolkit filters steal all keystrokes
and often fail to give them back. I looked briefly at trying to fix
this, but there seems to be no demand for XIM and any fix would be
pretty fiddly, demanding unending maintenance on average ;).
If people really want to use uim as an input method in XEmacs, I can
revisit the issue, but they'll need to post a RFE to the tracker
and/or xemacs-beta.

I don't see how this can happen if XEmacs is built --without-xim.
This is the Fedora XEmacs package, and it is built --with-xim=xlib.
Installation info included below for the record. This is not the exact one
the OP uses (he has Fedora 10, I have Fedora 9) but there should be no
practical differences.
Suggest to the OP to try that.
Will try to roll a build without XIM for him to test, thanks for the tip.

XEmacs (and maybe Emacs).
FWIW, I found this in the Fedora GNU Emacs changelog:
* Tue Feb 13 2007 Chip Coldwell <...> - 22.0.93-6
- remove --without-xim configure flag to fix dead keys (Alexandre Oliva
#224626)
Hopefully --without-xim won't break dead keys in XEmacs...

I admit that I'm 100% clueless about XIM myself (don't even know how to try it
out or if I'm using it without knowing), and if the upstream status of XIM
support in XEmacs is what you describe above, sounds like it could be a good
idea to do future builds --without-xim.

It probably will, actually; XEmacs doesn't support dead keys natively,
so if it looks like they're supported and you're not using Quail, it's
gotta be XIM, I think.
See if you get any complaints, and in the meantime I'll break out the
manuals and see if I can figure out what's going on with UIM.

OP reported back, mentioning that the build done using --with-xim=no
(hopefully that's the same as --without-xim, the XEmacs build options confuse
me) does _not_ fix it, the same assertion failure is still there.

Then it's an X11 or UIM bug because with --xith-xim=no, XEmacs never
calls any functions related to input methods. There's nothing we can
do about it AFAICS.
