I thought so as well up to now, as this is the way it works on Windows. I 
don't have any problem implementing either way, but I would really like to 
have an answer here at some point. Committing the string on focus change 
would make the IM handling a lot easier, especially in the text widgets 
themselves. 

IMO implementing string reconversion correctly would be the better way of 
dealing with it.
