Is you requirement following?

1. return default-im-name if its lang matches the locale
2. otherwise, return the most preferable IM for the locale

If so, I suggest uim-xim should use in combination with
uim_get_default_im_name() and uim_get_im_name_for_locale() (C
wrapper of find-im-for-locale) to achieve its requirement.

I think that we should not provide the combined version of the
function as uim API because it's not useful for other than
uim-xim.
