I also think so.

The consistency of our "immodule" and GTK+'s is important.
So, there is meaningful that qt-immodule reuses GTK_IM_MODULE.

But, I also approve of the idea that it becomes the origin 
of confusion and trap. And, I think that introduction of environment 
variable named QT_IM_MODULE also become the origin of confusion, 
since it increases the contents to set up.

It is the better solution for users to prepare a setting tool which 
performs both the writing to qtrc and a setup of GTK_IM_MODULE.


However, Identifire name should unify with GTK+'s.
