Public bug reported:

# PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

Input method does not work in the Unity Dash.

Currently, my input method defined in ~/.xinputrc is xim. The files
reads:

run_im xim

This allows me to keep a custom mapping of Compose sequences in
~/.XCompose. It works everywhere inside the graphical environment,
except in the Unity dash/Launcher, where keyboard sequences behave like
in a standard installation (i.e., without defining xim as input method).

# EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

I should be able to use my compose sequences defined in ~/.XCompose .
For example, one of the sequences is:

<dead_acute> <c>                        : "ç"   ccedilla # LATIN SMALL
LETTER C WITH CEDILLA

However, in the dash I get a ć (c-acute). See screenshot provided.

# CURRENT BEHAVIOR

None of my compose sequences in ~/.XCompose work. This problem happens
100% of the time.
