g_type_register_static causes crash in gtk im module.

["Peng Huang" <shawn p huang gmail com>]

Hi,

I meet a trouble with in gtk immodule. I known I should use g_type_register_dynamic in the module. But my gtk module is linked with another library based on glib. It uses g_type_register_static to register its classes. When a gtk application loads my im module twice, it will cause crash, and give some error output.

GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `IBusObject'

I found it could be fixed by changing the args of g_module_open (Please check below patch). I want to know if I could avoid this problem without modify gtk. Thanks.
