gtk-im-context-simple supports (the vast majority) of the compose sequence that
are available with XIM.

If the variable GTK_IM_MODULE is not set, then GTK+ selects by default
gtk-im-context-simple.

It would be good if this could go forward. Then Fedora and other distributions
could claim ISO 14755 support.
