GTK2 had a few issues:
See, for example, the next bug which was originally noticed when I was
composing e-mail messages in thuderbird.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696624

Bug 696624 -
Summary:        Japanese (Korean/Chinese) XIM input mode indicator has not been

[Originally, I submitted the following mozilla bugzilla entry because
I did not realize it was NOT the problem of TB/FF per se.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854825
Bug 854825 - Japanese (Korean/Chinese) XIM input mode indicator has not been
working for TB and FF under linux. (with known solution)  ]

Unfortunately, it was not possible to catch/grab attentions of GTK library
developers any more now that GTK3 was their main focus.
(Yet, surprisingly the bug was carried over to GTK3 library, too.
So hoping to attention, I submitted a bugzilla entry:
Bug 731190 -
Summary:        XIM input mode indicator does not work. (It shows black box, 
e.g.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731190
[Although the bugzilla did not mention any fix, I think the
today's code may have fixed the issue in a really different manner. I don't
even see the
same function any more in the current code if I am not mistaken.]

Yes, sticking with the old and proven software module has a merit, but
when we find it has a hitherto unknown bug, we are often faced with the
problem that original developers are no longer interested in fixing such old
library.

I think it is about time we move to GTK3 library.
