Ok, it was my fault that on_preedit_changed() was only called once. I
forgot to return TRUE at the end of the function. Now it's called every
time the preedit is changed and the parameter is a correct GtkIMContext.

So far so good, now I have the correct IMContext. The problem is, that I
cannot change the preedit text nor the preedit formatting. I can get
both, but those are copies so changing them has no effect.

I guess the only chance to dynamically change the formatting of the
preedit text is to create a subclass of GtkIMContext which would
basically be HildonIMContext but with a different implementation of
get_preedit_string().

Well, that's a bit overkill, so I'll have a look if I can change the
font handling in Conboy in a way to make it work with the default
HildonIMContext.

Cheers!
