Could you please launch the "cat" command and then press Ctrl-space?
What do you see without touching the input method, and with touching it
plus your patch? The expected behavior is ^@ to appear.

  > 3) What you expected to happen

  Disabling input methods by:
   $ XMODIFIERS=@im=none GTK_IM_MODULE=xim gnome-terminal

  > 4) What happened instead

  Can't disable input methods.
  On Ubuntu 15.04, I can disable input methods this way.
  This poses a problem for C-space on emacs -nw.

  
  I think this is a regression bug because I can avoid this problem by using Ubuntu 15.04 version of /usr/bin/gnome-terminal   script.  The most important difference between older and newer /usr/bin/gnome-terminal is:

  <         if not cmdargs.disable_factory and cmdargs.cls is not None:
  <             if self.name is not None:
  <                 self.args.append('--app-id=%s' % self.name)
  ---
  >         if not cmdargs.disable_factory and self.name is None:
  >             sys.exit(subprocess.call(self.args))

  If I change these lines back, I can disable input methods.
