The IM comes first, indeed, hence the problems. Maybe there's a way for
Emacs to temporarily suspend the external IM processing. IF so, someone
will have to implement support for it :-(
But if/when such support is installed, we could maybe automatically
disable IM processing after C-x or in windows displaying
special-mode buffers. That would be really welcome.
