  'im-config -l' complains about zenity not installed

Status in im-config package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in im-config package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  trusty and wily SRU request
  ===========================

  [Impact]
  The 'im-config -l' call causes language-selector-gnome to crash for users who don't have zenity installed. The proposed change prevents this unwarranted check.

  [Test Case]
  * Uninstall zenity
  * Open a terminal window and run gnome-language-selector.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low, since the change only delays the "sanity check" until after the l-option code.
