I'd like to add that Ubuntu 17.10 was shipped with Wayland by default, 
and to make im-config work we used a hook in /etc/profile.d. So we have 
already tested it in a real-life situation. I can't recall any reports 
about uim or other non-IBus frameworks not being configured and 
launched. (There were indeed issues with e.g. Fcitx, but nothing 
im-config related.)

With that said, it would of course be good to have uim tested now.
