+       * gtk/gtkimcontextsimple.c: Rework the Unicode hex input
+       code. Now we only steal a single key combination, Ctrl-Shift-U,
+       instead of sixteen. 
+       A hex Unicode sequence must be started with Ctrl-Shift-U, followed
+       by a sequence of hex digits entered with Ctrl-Shift still held.
+       Releasing one of the modifiers or pressing space while the modifiers
+       are still held commits the character. It is possible to erase
+       digits using backspace.
+       As an extension to the above, we also allow to start the sequence
+       with Ctrl-Shift-U, then release the modifiers before typing any
+       digits, and enter the digits without modifiers.
