I agree that tests should come along with this patch.

The source of problems in GTK+ with IME events is that the "System (Simple)"
input method (and perhaps others) treats non-IME input like IME input. That
means that when you press 'a' that keypress is filtered by the IMContext and an
IME committed event happens soon after.

As far as the behavior of normal key events, the expected behavior comes from
both FireFox (Linux) and WebKit (Mac). Here are a couple pertinent links on the
topic as well:
