I think it's "on the spot".

It is in the scim-setup GUI [1]:
    "To change the style in SCIM, run scim-setup (or choose "SCIM Input
    Method Setup" from your menu), and go to the "FrontEnd -> Global
    Setup" page. The option to change XIM style is "Embed Preedit
    String into client window", when it is selected, you are using "on
    the spot" style; and when it is not selected, you are using "over
    the spot" style."

I am not aware of any universal way to set the default style for an XIM
program. But I am by no means an expert, and I didn't look hard.
