        Yes , but I don't use it now for the reason below.

        It is my decision not to use XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback() ,
        this is because it is quite troublesome to process not only Open / Close
        but Register / Unregister for switching multiple XIMs.
        (that is , I cut corner:))

        Of cource , it is possible , but I thought XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback()
        may not be necessary , since even if XIM is killed and mlterm purges it ,
        pressing XIM_OPEN keys after XIM is revived enables you to use it again anyway.

        But the idea above is just my own decision , and if you all say
        XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback() should be used and is necessary ,
        I'll do it from now and wait for a while , please.
