I think so too.

I think that we should not do so, since:

- right-click operation is too expensive for frequent use

- some users cannot find that the im-switching feature
  is available

"pref" button should also be shown as button due to same reason.

But I also think that hiding the buttons by user using
right-click menu such as following checkable one is useful.

- show input method switcher button to toolbar
- show preference button to toolbar

In addition, I have a plan about reimplementation for such
buttons as follwoing.

- Implement "exec im-switcher" as an action (See
  action_exec_im_switcher of action.scm)

- Bind the action to "sw" button

The benefits are:

- User can place the action to single button or arbitrary menu
  (branch) as preferred

- User can hide the action if unneeded

- User can bind the action to arbitrary key sequence

This reimplementation requires revision of the prop_list_update
message and its handlers, and --enable-scm-nested-eval
environment. I'll going to this after uim 0.4.6 if nobody
disapproved.
