I shouldn't speak for Owen, but he has been reluctant to
accept new input methods lately. You might consider
gtk-im-extra (http://gtk-im-extra.sourceforge.net/)

Not with GtkIMContextSimple. With GtkIMContext, you can do

I've used a fairly simple system a few times that allows
arbitrary keystrokes -> arbitrary string. See for instance
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gtk-im-extra/gtk-im-extra/src/imdevphon.c
