Title:
  Environment variables used by input methods should be preserved.

Status in sudo package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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!
