IIUIC .. this sounds fingerprintable (even though it would requires the user to type something)

I think mLocale can be set only by InitCompositionEvent.
I quickly checked the various calls, but I think they pass an empty string, except for tests.
Anyway, I started a build to remove that, let's see if it's easy 😄.
