Thank you for your comments. They are definitely helpful.
To handle IME events on Linux (GTK), we notice we should not only
handle more events of GTKIMContext (e.g. "preedit_start",
"preedit_changed", "preedit_end", etc.) but also decide what IPC
messages we should send when an IME intercepts key events.
I'm adding more diagrams that describe such CJK cases (on Windows,
Mac, and Linux) to my document so that we can also figure out CJK
problems and find solutions that make all platforms happy.
I'm sure we should keep you informed about this issue, so it is
helpful to keep giving us your comments and suggestions.

Hironori Bono
