Summary: scim shows panel with single method button and no others

Initial Comment:
While typing Chinese with Chewing and Smart Pinyin scim prompt changed: became just one button instead of having many buttons following it.

Was able to switch methods but selected methods didn;t work.

Mkes it unusable => Highest priority

Message:
What about debugging SCIM?
It seems like SCIM-Pinyin and libpinyin have some bugs which cause memory
corruption.

Ryo-dairiki,

Sorry for my English, I will try to write in simple and clear way.
This as due, in part, to the limitation of subject in SF so I had to cut
it down.

While testing/working with scim I found many instabilities or strange
artifacts.
Many of them are hard to catch. But I am trying to create a PR every time
I see these
kind of problems so such problems are documented.
This is one of them.

While switching to and from Smart Pinyin I spotted the scim window with
only one "Smart Pinyin" button
and no other buttons "Input mode" button or "Input state" button.
Clicking on this button method selection menu showed up and other methods
were selectable.
But they didn't work.

I would like to keep this PR open until the reason is established and
fixed, or code is improved in some ways
leading us to believe that this kind of problem went away.

There ere some other strange artifacts. These kind of problems might be
due some memory corruption, but
I am not sure.
