Linux IME work

Hi,

I'm working on IME (Input Method Editor) on Linux as the current solution
using XIM is probably not working and XIM is known to be outdated.

I'm basing it on
https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/class.IMContext.html

Which is built on top of Ibus (Intelligent Input Bus). To my understanding
there's an option for XIM too.

I'm testing it using Japanese and Anthy. For now it's compiling and sending
IME commits to a TextArea but not deleting preedits (have to figure it out
how to do it).

It's a land I started to explore (and I know nothing outside the
latin-based languages). I'm looking for use cases or samples I can use to
test.

It's also a work to eliminate X11 calls so we can support wayland.

Cheers
