GDK does not provide an exact equivalent to *LookupString. Instead,
GdkKeypressEvent has a 'string' field which contains the
results of XmbLookupString. 

So that GDK knows which IC to use for calling XmbLookupString,
you need to call gdk_im_begin when you gain the focus
and gdk_im_end() when you loose it. (See, e.g., gdkentrye.c)
