I was about to propose that, but now I don't need to. ;) It's much more
straight forward than the ideas mentioned in the bug description.

Title:
Default IM configuration causes hangs
Status in im-config package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Certain applications have associated input hangs, where no key input
events can be sent which sometimes clear after some time, and in at
least one case (Inkscape), this is eliminated by running from
Start->Run as follows, hence overriding the declaration of
GTK_IM_MODULE in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70im-config_launch , distributed
in im-config...
bash -c "unset GTK_IM_MODULE && inkscape"
A permanent fix on my machine could be to modify the 70im-
config_launch file, or declare an overriding export in some later .rc
file. Anyone know where I should make this declaration if not
modifying package-maintained files?
An alternative solution could be to install scim-gtk-immodule and
run...
bash -c "export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim && inkscape"

Similar behaviours are experienced with Kupfer - minutes of hang with
apparently no input events being passed, followed by (sometimes)
unfreezing.
I'm running Lubuntu Utopic with LXDE and Compiz (minimal dependencies
on GTK), so it's feasible that some component is not properly declared
in a dependent package. I can't find whether there is in fact a xim
module available and running anywhere on my system. How can I check?
Other input issues relating to out-of-order key event delivery to
Chrome-based applications are experienced on the same build, but I
think this may be an independent bug, ostensibly resolved by declaring
IBUS_SYNC_MODE=1
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=456766 but thought
I should mention as it's kind of in the same subsystem and may be
linked.
I speculate that there is some missing dependency or bad configuration
in the default presentation of IM capabilities, which eventually
causes a DBUS timeout or similar, eventually causing a fallback
without any international input, but which is functional.
