I never objects to create gtk+ native input method.  But IMHO the
default should be an XIM based one on X11.  Or the most (x11) gtk+
Korean users will be confused.

If noone objects, I'll insert Korean GtkIMContextInfo block into
imxim.c.  (Probably it could be done in a few seconds.  :)

Yes.  The Korean edition of Windoze does that way.  Though I prefer
the first way (states for each toplevel window), most newbies expects
the only one state in one desktop.
