> How do you use input method?

The default F13 configuration, en_US locale, does not provide any input method
(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=598289#c3 for my config info).

That's perfect, I don't need an input method.

Unfortunately, the default configuration does not include gtk-im-context-simple
and I don't know how to change the configuration to provide that setting for my
entire session. From the output above, it looks like gtk is using "xim" where I
want it to use gtk-im-context-simple.

This problem would be solved if the default configuration would configure gtk
to use the gtk-im-context-simple module when no input method is configured, as
it did in previous Fedora releases (I believe the change was introduced with
F12).

This issue is not really about any input method, it's about what happens when
no input method is configured. In that situation, I should have access to the
previous behavior (Ctrl+Shift+U,hex digits,space), which is a publicly
documented ISO-standard feature.
