Vincent?  Or anyone else?  I attach the patch again.

[The problem is that some input methods don't provide gtk3 but only
 gtk2 im-modules.  When $GTK_IM_MODULE is set to such a module, gtk3
 can't take it then chooses another available IM randomly, or nothing
 is available.  The patch changes gtk3 to take a look at
 $GTK3_IM_MODULE first, so that the user can set a value specific to
 gtk3.  With the patch, setting GTK3_IM_MODULE=xim gives a nice
 workaround.]


thanks,

Takashi
