Yep, it would be very interesting to know whether the IM menu works for you
(Zhang Linbo), even without the hot keys. 

In fact, if you could teach us westerners a couple of sequence of keys (am 
I wrong in assuming that Chinese is written using an input method translating 
sequences of Latin characters into the desired result?), such as the one which
produces the "Han" and "Zi" ideograms (which I'm not 100% sure I remember
off-hand, but I'm sure I have a graphic copy somewhere in both simplified
and traditional forms), this would be invaluable for testing that we didn't 
break the IM menu. For the moment, all I could test with IM is that IMified 
Cyrillic input works, and that I can type gibberish in some foreign-looking
scripts (but I have no idea whether it's correct or not with regards to what
I typed)
        (don't worry about the fonts; fc-cache is on the verge of demanding
me to switch to a 64-bit architecture, for exhaustion of the virtual
memory ;-) ).
