It'd be nice to have some way to overwrite /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules

Bug Description

I use en_US as my locale but I hate having to use Alt-gr "," + c to get a cedilla, so I usually hack that file myself and add the "en" locale to the list under the cedilla module.

This is not optimal because I have to do that every time a new version of gtk is installed, so it'd be great if I could overwrite that somewhere that is not touched by gtk.

Adding "en" in /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules, cedilla works fine, but only in gtk programs.

QT programs ' (acute) + c = ć

Why isn't setting the environment variable GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE enough?

[However, it needs to be done pretty early on though, in your .xsession or so, so all programs pick it up]

That is good enough for me, but I did a

  GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE=/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ipa.so gedit

and the input method shown in gedit was still my system one. Am I doing
something wrong?
