Well, the only problem is that this protocol is totally not usable yet
and it lacks every single feature a non-layout input method needs.
Apart from what I have already mentioned ((more important ones first)
tracking input context, cursor following, getting information about
im-clients (pid, appname, context), and not really sure about having
multiple processes drawing the user interface) there is one more
feature that is missing. Is it possible for the im-client to send a
key event that is not previously handled by the input method back to
text_model (or is wl_text_input the new name...)? At least I haven't
found a request on the im-client to send this out... This is really
useful when the text model only get input focus after certain key
event (see pidgin input window as an example).
