So I would suggest to remove that code wholesale.

Hmm, but was this code used on Solaris? Have we already removed some
functionality needed (or at least useful) on Solaris then? 

I doubt it, solaris had moved to a GNOME desktop by default, more or
less, when I left Sun and last used solaris and all of this is
irrelevant under the gtk vclplug.

It doesn't really make a lot of sense to retain direct support for one
archaic Input Mechanism which has been superseded, a few time over by
now, by a series of new IMs. IIIMP support probably shouldn't have been
made solaris-specific in the first place as e.g. fedora had it in up
until Fedora 5 in 2006 or so.

In fact we should probably go so far as to drop the "generic" vcl plug
altogether and just have the gtk and kde ones.
