[Uim] How to turn on the input method as soon as the uc is created?

[James Su]

Hi,
  In SCIM, there is an on/off mode, but this mode is controlled by 
FrontEnd and have nothing to do with IMEngines. If SCIM is turned on, 
then all key events will be sent to the focused IMEngine instance, 
otherwise the events will not be processed and will be forwarded back to 
the client instead.
  In IMEngines, there should be an input mode status, e.g. conversion 
mode, direct input mode, full width letter mode etc. In SCIM's current 
IMEngines, like pinyin, table, rawcode etc., the default input mode is 
conversion mode (The default conversion mode, if there is more than one 
conversion modes).
  By default SCIM is turned off, when user turn on SCIM by a trigger key 
(by default is ctrl+space), the input mode of the focused IMEngine 
should be in the default conversion mode. Then user don't need to change 
the input mode into conversion mode anymore.

  So, my question is, if it's possible to put an uim context into the 
default conversion mode as soon as it's created?
