[openi18n-im:01197] user-running iiim server discussion

Hi Kazunori san,

Great idea. Your implementation idea actually will help from not running
iiim service in boot time. So it will help typical desktop user who has
one desktop/user per system.

And then next implementation will be in gimlet, which it can pull in
private iiim server if the preference "Enable Input methods" is enabled
and normal iiim service is not running at gimlet startup. 

I think my another intention is similar but just slightly different - a
user iiim server to share with other users. It serves some systems with
multiple desktops/users.

Cheers,
Leon
