Public bug reported:

Right now the only input method (IM) that works with Unity/Nux is IBus.
This means anyone who uses a different IM would have to switch to IBus
in order to type in their language.

This is something that needs to be fixed and will make Unity/Nux
friendlier to those who use different IMs. If you do not use an IM then
this will not affect you.

XIM was the very first IM framework for the X window system, which means
most IMs are supported by it.

A List of IMs that will be supported by this branch (There could be more):

All of those under XIM will now work in Unity and Nux with this branch.
