alacritty: possible inputmethod issue?

Hi!

I've recently tried out x11/alacritty, a terminal emulator written in
rust, on NetBSD 9.99.85/amd64.

It doesn't start:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to open input method: PotentialInputMethods {
    xmodifiers: None,
    fallbacks: [
        PotentialInputMethod {
            name: "@im=local",
            successful: Some(
                false,
            ),
        },
        PotentialInputMethod {
            name: "@im=",
            successful: Some(
                false,
            ),
        },
    ],
    _xim_servers: Err(
        GetPropertyError(
            TypeMismatch(
                0,
            ),
        ),
    ),
}', /home/pbulk/build/x11/alacritty/work/vendor/winit-0.24.0/src/platform_impl/linux/x11/mod.rs:134:17


tnn reports that this works when built with X from pkgsrc, so I wonder
if we're doing something wrong in base X11 to break this.

Does anyone have an idea?
