I've checked qt-immodule patch and cannot find a way to bypass IM
context for a specific widget.

BTW, it can be said that this is a bug in qt-immodule.  In Fedora, the
problem is not existed since they applied
qt-x11-free-3.3.6-fix-key-release-event-with-imm.diff in their source
package (qt-3.3.6-0.4.fc5.src.rpm).  With the patch, no IM context is
created for widgets which don't require that (like key grab dialog).

So I leave uim-pref-qt unchanged at the moment.   YamaKen, if you know
how to bypass IM context in some specific widgets, please let me know.

For now, please choose one from the following workaround.
 * use qt-x11-free-3.3.6-fix-key-release-event-with-imm.diff patch
  * temporary switch to direct IM in uim
  * invoke uim-pref-qt with "QT_IM_MODULE=simple uim-pref-qt"
