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

Perhaps we need more discussion about this issue. Anyway, I explain
uim's implementation. Currently, uim assumes on/off state of input
method is private value of input context and do not allow front end to
manipulate it explicitly.
uim's input context is designed to accept all key event and decide to
through the event or not by private status.

I think this behaviour is same as other OSs like Windows or MacOS.
Imagine if you are writing input method with English spell checker,
input method will always need all key events.

Of course this can be changed, e.g. implemnt forced on/off API to uim.

Thanks!
