Ok, you are right: I confirmed this in the source code.

Agree. IMO, we should provide the capability to disable this feature,
for most of CJK users do not really need this compose IMEngine at all.

OTOH, this IMEngine is built-in in the scim library itself. I think,
it would be better to split it in a separate plugin: otherwise this
introduce un-necessary overhead for most CJK users.

What's your opinion?
