Yeah, that's the only choice, I'm afraid.

GNOME3 can't work cleanly with other input frameworks --  this is
already a fact that was decided by GNOME developers years back.  So,
the cleanest option would be not to support GNOME as long as this
decision is kept, but I don't think it's any practical option :)
Hence a workaround like above shall be required more or less...

That being said, if this won't break anything else than GNOME setting,
I'm all for it.  Go forth.  It's much better than keeping broken.

BTW, one can modify /etc/X11/xim instead of each /etc/X11/xim.d/*.
From maintenance POV, this might be easier as you'd need to patch only
one package.  But it's still a bit hackish, in anyway.
