[SCIM] Built-in support of compose keys is available.

[Zhe Su]

Hi;
  I can input all characters in the table with "English/European"
input method opened.

  And in gnumeric, I can input all of the characters in the input
field above the table. But 34 > Shift+e can not be inputed directly
into the table. Maybe it's the gnumeric's bug.

Regards
James Su
