[Ｖ字龍(Vdragon)]

Public bug reported:

Input method under GNU/Linux relies on several environment variables to
work properly, setting the following sudoers config by default will
enable input method in applications run as other users:

````
Defaults	env_keep += "GTK_IM_MODULE"
Defaults	env_keep += "QT_IM_MODULE"
Defaults	env_keep += "QT4_IM_MODULE"
Defaults	env_keep += "CLUTTER_IM_MODULE"
Defaults	env_keep += "XMODIFIERS"
````

Thanks in advance!
