Maybe we can borrow the method in GTK immodule: a separate program to
generate the list of all available input method plugins (
gtk-query-immodules-2.0) when a plugin is installed/uninstalled.

Or a better (IMO) way is to cache the list after the first qt app
starts: all the following qt apps just use it (the key for the cache
can be the mtime of $QTDIR/plugins/input dir)
