As Jungshik Shin mentioned, this can be done only in a couple of
applications currently. Jungshik Shin mentioned GTK2.
Other applications which can switch at runtim between input servers
are mlterm and yudit for example.

Because the current XIM mechanism in X11 uses LC_CTYPE to select which
language should be input.

Isn't LC_COLLATE for collation?

Many XIM servers used to work only in the legacy locale of the
language they were designed for.
As far as I remember, kinput2 used to behave like that as well. But I
just checked kinput2 again, and it appears that the version I have
currently installed (kinput2-v3.1) appears to behave the same no
matter what locale is used to start it. I.e. whether I start it in
ja_JP.eucJP, ja_JP.UTF-8 or even POSIX, I can't find any difference in
behaviour anymore.
