Public bug reported:

im-config is the successor of im-switch, featuring a much more elegant
implementation and better handling of many details when launching input
methods. Debian has moved to im-config for two years, and im-switch has
been abandoned for such a long time.  There aren't, and won't get any
update from Debian anymore, and we are preparing the removal of im-
switch from Debian.

Porting the function from im-switch to im-config won't be a pain, as im-
config itself provides similar command line for setting input methods.
All the work needed are about adapting current code to the new
situation. Please don't waste time on fixing im-switch anymore, the more
you fix it the more delta get generated, and the more it gets into a
badly maintained status, IMHO.
