Then, we support QT_IM_MODULE_FILE env.?
Creating qt-query-immodules command is easy.
But we should disscuss it's spec.

qt-query-immodules should output in GTK's GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE format?
Why don't use QSettings class?
We need impement parser?

GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE format is to read GTK+ library.
If we run qt-query-immodules to know immodule list, it's better that output is more man readable format.
