I think the issue here is that a user currently cannot switch the
locale used for X keysyms decoding from within a running Emacs
session. That means you cannot easily change the language in which
you are typing, unless you use Leim.

The one specified by the user, I think; the default should be taken
from LANG and its ilk, like we do now.
I guess we need a new command for switching the locale for XOpenIM, or
maybe something that would be called by set-keyboard-coding-system. I
was never happy about the X-vs-non-X differences in the aspects
related to the keyboard; perhaps now is the time to fix that.
