Ah, I forgot this one. In fact, it could be used by default in case
gtk-im-libthai is missing. But some pending bugs make me hesitate
to do so. Currently, XIM is still a better choice.

The logic is similar, but slightly different in terms of input sequence
correction. And I prefer it because I'm more free to maintain it.
"im-thai", the one shipped with GTK+, has had pending bugs that
take like forever to fix, e.g. GNOME #652720.

XMODIFIERS is not relevant. It's for XIM part.

No. It's my confusion. So, should it be left blank?

I'm not sure now about this one, as the other parts can work without
them. Should it be Recommended: instead, or left blank?
In any case, this entry looks more like general config for Thai IME.
Probably, it should be renamed to 50_thai.{dsc,im}.
