This is exactly what I'd expect. As the ChangeLog entry explained, the patch
only implements the infrastructure for IM support, but happens to be sufficient
for limited virtual keyboard support on mobile devices already.

The work to go from here to getting complete support is pretty clear. We just
need to implement the various IM signals and functions in terms of
EditorClientGtk. The one change we'll need to make outside of EditorClientGtk
is to add a new field to PlatformKeyboardEvent.h to pass around the GDK event
-- this is the exact same strategy the Mac port uses.

Completing this feature would only take maybe half a day for someone with
WebKit/GTK+ experience.
