Ah, I just understood.  I was confused what needed sleep command.

I tested in 1.5.7, 1.7.3 and 1.8.0, and confirmed.
So, I will ask we can get rid of sleep commands from Debian im-config.

Thank you for your reporting.

BTW, below, original report in Debian BTS, is still reproducible in 1.8.0.

    $ killall uim-xim
    $ uim-xim & xterm # <-- cannot use uim-xim in this xterm.

    $ killall uim-xim
    $ uim-xim & sleep 5 ; xterm # <-- can use uim-xim in this xterm
