Title:
  Please port input method function to use im-config

Status in Ubuntu Seeds:
  Fix Released
Status in “im-config” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  im-config is the successor of im-switch, featuring a much more elegant
  implementation and better handling of many details when launching
  input methods. Debian has moved to im-config for two years, and im-
  switch has been abandoned for such a long time.  There aren't, and
  won't get any update from Debian anymore, and we are preparing the
  removal of im-switch from Debian.

  Porting the function from im-switch to im-config won't be a pain, as
  im-config itself provides similar command line for setting input
  methods. All the work needed are about adapting current code to the
  new situation. Please don't waste time on fixing im-switch anymore,
  the more you fix it the more delta get generated, and the more it gets
  into a badly maintained status, IMHO.
