immodule's responsibility of UTF-8 preedit/commit string

[Yukihiro Nakai <ynakai redhat com>]

Hi,

Conglomerate (http://www.conglomerate.org/) immodule support code
refers a mail at
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2002-June/msg00105.html
but I don't think it's applicable in these days.

GTK+2 immodule should be responsible to set alway UTF-8 string
at preedit/commit so that the GTK+2 applications can assume them UTF-8.

And sometimes people want to input strings not in the current locale
charset, g_locale_to_utf8() will not work at that time.
For example, when I try to input Korean string with im-hangul on
Japanese euc-jp locale (LANG=ja_JP.eucJP), it cannot handle.

I don't want you to think I'm doing UTF-8 proselytization,
but everyone might agree above.

Thank you.
