Thanks but that does not really help me.
I'm looking for a way to find out if an ime is ready to handle key
press events or not.
The gtk documentation states that gtk_im_context_filter_keypress
returns TRUE if the input method handled the keystroke.
The problem that i seem to be facing is that this function is
returning true, even if i don't have any input method editor enabled.
