I always build X from source.

The problem appears to be somewhere in the XOpenIM() -- it ignores the
XMODIFIERS setting if it doesn't match the current LOCALE setting, using
rules that may be discernable only to God.  It's wildly inconsistent, and I
suspect that it's been broken ever since we merged the Thai IM fixes.

XIM is a horrible, horrible hack.  It tries to be all things to all people,
and we know how well such things work.
