QIMSYS Breaks Modifier Keys

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
qimsys 2011-02-06

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. put these lines in ~/.profile
export QT_IM_MODULE=qimsys
export GTK_IM_MODULE=qimsys
2. reboot

What is the expected output?
My modifier keys still work on the keypad including:
shift 2x
sticky shift
fn 2x
sticky fn
fn sym

NOTE: All 5 of these combinations are possible with a single finger. 
ie) sticky shift: keydown shift then keyup shift then keydown q then keyup q = Q

What do you see instead?
none of those work.

To get these keys working again simply:
1. remove these lines in ~/.profile
export QT_IM_MODULE=qimsys
export GTK_IM_MODULE=qimsys
2. reboot

sticky and lock are features implemented in hildon input method. If you replace 
it to qimsys, they won't work because qimsys doesn't support them (yet).

At least these 2 work on the virtual keyboard (but is inconsistent with the 
hardware keypad):
sticky shift
sticky fn

I was hoping the virtual keyboard for qimsys could be toggled on/off with:
fn sym

And I could lock all typing to katakana with:
shift 2x

And I could lock all typing to numbers/math with:
fn 2x

So I still hope these functions are available in the future.
