What's wrong with using GTK_IM_MODULE=xim everywhere? It always works (in Linux). I gather that the separate input methods for GTK are only there to provide "portability" to other systems, like MS Windows. But we are discussing Debian here, i.e. Linux, so (if I understand it correctly) we do not have to care about Windows portability, and can use the "standard" xim. see http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/2004-05/msg00004.html About the many different window managers, each (possibly) with their own best way to start the IME: yes, this is a problem. But it has to be solved somehow (I mean it cannot be left unsolved, otherwise for many users, uim/scim, etc., mysteriously do not work). It is more important for im-switch to pay attention to the window managers than to pay attention to the locales. Maybe a "test protocol" for uim/scim should be devised which can be sent to all Debian maintainers of window managers.
