You find out about the IME impacting your application by your application window getting resized. That is the -only- way. Different IMEs may have radically different approaches to interacting with the user. You certainly can't assume they are doing anything solely or at all with the back key. This has nothing to do with different vendors, it applies to any IME the user may install as well.
