Comment:
Maybe gnome-session could have a way to set environment variables from
gconf at startup. For example, all the keys in /.../gnome-session/env/
could be variable names and their string values the variable values. On
startup, gnome-session would set those variables before executing any
programs. gnome-kbd-props could then change the /.../env/GTK_IM_MODULE
key and next time the user logs in, the IM would be set.
