Well.. I'm not a master on this, but I guess that the current usage of
XIM pretty much depends on the callback working as expected... For
instance XOpenIM is called from within that callback...

And when that's not called, gdk uses xim stuff without being initialized
and gets funny 0x0 pointers all over the place to dereference..
