I think I need to describe in a better way how I envision the future 
architecture.

I want to have the IM daemon merged into the wayland compositor. So KWin 
would talk directly with the IM through library calls and the composed 
text would be sent from KWin to the application through the Wayland 
text-input protocol.

I want to eliminate the IPC between applications and IM daemon.

If we are going to touch this code we can strive for the best solution 
and not keep stuck on the approach used on X11. And yes that might need 
adjusting the IMEs. But they need to be adjusted anyway. We wouldn't 
have this discussion if it would just work on Wayland.
