As for Korean input method, I chose hangul as its generic name. nabi is
only for xim. GTK/QT IM have hangul in their name.
50_hangul.conf has:
Only activate as auto mode if all exist.
package_auto () {
package_status nabi && \
package_status imhangul-gtk2 && package_status imhangul-gtk3 && \
package_status qimhangul-qt4
}
But show it in menu if any one of them are installed.
package_menu () {
package_status nabi || \
package_status imhangul-gtk2 || package_status imhangul-gtk3 || \
package_status qimhangul-qt4
}

True but X start its xim thing.
Choosing xim means to force using standard xim which is default. So fancy
characters can be supported with dead keys etc for many european languages.
So people who wish to diable im should chose this.

As seen on manpage:
00-09: Input Method choice mode (default/auto/cjkv/REMOVE)
10-49: Input Method supporting multiple languages.(auto ready)
50-79: Input Method supporting limited languages. (auto ready)
80-89: Input Method (deprecated one) (not for auto)
90-99: Used internally by im-config (not for auto)
$ ls -1 *.rc
00_default.rc
01_auto.rc
02_cjkv.rc
09_REMOVE.rc
--- All these are automatic choice and not a real IM mode.
20_ibus.rc
22_fcitx.rc
24_uim.rc
25_hime.rc
26_gcin.rc
48_scim.rc
50_hangul.rc
60_thai.rc
--- All these are real imput method.
78_none.rc
79_xim.rc
--- Since XIM is default, these are practically the same ....
80_kinput2.rc
80_xsunpinyin.rc
--- Some IM set up which should not be used these days but I kept them here
are backup option.
90_bogus.rc
90_custom.rc
90_missing.rc
In retrospective none and xim are somewhat redundant.
My rationale was, with xim, it uses xim for whatever locale while GNOME/GTK/QT
library default may be switched and it did so sometime ago....

Anyway, hints are in *.conf file content.

I do niot have time to refactor code into im-config. So what ever works for
you is fine for now for Ubuntu。 As for jessie, I could do more
factoring.
