In non-Japanese mode Japanese input methods do not work.

Reproducible: Always

mozilla|firefox|thunderbird
- or -
2b. Start any of the Mozilla products: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8 XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2"
mozilla|firefox|thunderbird
3.   Go to any place in the Mozilla product where character input is possible.
Actual Results:  
2a: SHIFT-SPACE for using kinput2 for Japanese input works, but other characters
such as dead_macron (needed e.g. for Japanese transcription) and dead_abovedot
stop working.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
