Linux IME work

[Thiago Milczarek Sayão]

Hi,

I would like to make Linux IME work again.
Ongoing work here:
https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/1080

Since I am not an IME user myself I'm not qualified to say when "It's
ready" so I need feedback to continue.

But with use case examples I can try myself and get it fixed until it's
done.

This is also a step to get rid of X11 calls and make space for Wayland.

If anyone is willing to provide feedback, please do it on the PR.

-- Thiago.
