    Try to fix input method flicker on GTK builds

all seems back to normal: IME and XkbLayout switching works, as well as
binding C-S-u separately from C-u. (That's with x-gtk-use-native-input
at its default nil value; with it set non-nil, XkbLayout switching still
works and C-S-u is still separate from C-u, but I am unable to activate
the IME (fcitx) in Emacs; I'm not sure that is a problem, though: all I
wished for was for the former to continue working.)

Thanks!
