    Make Emacs build with some other XLib implementations

it's a mess again.

Steps from emacs -Q -r:

1.
fcitx and XkbLayout switching works
(global-set-key (kbd "C-S-u") #'ding) "works" (separate from C-u)

2.
(setq x-gtk-use-native-input t)
C-S-u becomes C-u
fcitx and XkbLayout switching still works

3.
(setq x-gtk-use-native-input nil)
C-S-u becomes separate again
fcitx and XkbLayout switching breaks (the flickering issue again)

toggling x-gtk-use-native-input now again goes back to state 2., 3... ad
infinitum, state 1. (which is the one we/I want) seems unattainable at
this point.
