That software looks to be just what I was looking for, thank you! It 
seems like 'gnome-im-properties' on my system only gives me the 
enable/disable IM and where the menu is displayed. I tried removing 
english (Latin) from gimlet but it seems to just add it back once I 
switch to a new program.

Thank you for your help!
