I meant that the GTK toolkit communicates with the input method upon
receiving a key event, and the details of this communication vary by
whether the program using the toolkit registers for key events or for
text.  Because most GTK programs that expect text input take the latter
approach, it's not altogether surprising that recent input methods,
being designed for the same, come into conflict with Emacs's
unconventional behavior.
