To sum it up:
 - Looking at the source, I don't know how the old Epiphany could share input
method too, but that would not matter if we had a way to change input method.
 - Speaking of changing system input method via XSettings, WebKit does not call
gtk_im_context_focus_{in,out} frequent enough (which explains my last comment).
The only place it calls those is in EditorClient::setInputMethodState(), which
does not get called if I switch windows, though switching text entry does the
trick. Focus problem.
 - A more important bug with input methods. It seems composition in webkit is
not right. With input method VIQR, I can type "am" in a GtkEntry and get "am"
('a' will put it to preedit mode, 'a^m' for example will produce 'âm'). With
WebKit "am" produces "m". The preedit 'a' is eaten. The only way I can have
'am' is typing 'a\m' -- 'a\' will produce a complete 'a'.
