I don't think such change would be accpeted by the maintainer. This
patch completely removed the global configuration. And even worse, it
doesn't fix the overriding ~/.gnomerc problem.

This is the problematic line. ~/.gnomerc got read in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc, so this unset command
overrides the settings in ~/.gnomerc.
As a workaround, I would at least like to see im-switch honor some
environment variable, like $DISABLE_IM_SWITCH or something, and if it's
set, don't do these "unset XMODIFIERS etc., and source im-switch
configurations" thing - i.e., put the whole thing in a "if [
$DISABLE_IM_SWITCH != 1 ] ... fi".
Does that sound like a sane solution? Of course, it would be best to
implement a way to turn off im-switch, like /etc/default/im-switch or
similar, and has a debconf question to control it.
