Fix loading cached compose tables (293 bytes, patch)

Description Thibaut Girka 2016-11-03 21:40:47 UTC 
Hello,

I've long thought there were no support for ~/.XCompose in Gtk+3 on Wayland,
but it seems there should be some basic support. And indeed there is. However,
using the same ~/.XCompose more than once with GtkIMContextSimple will silently fail, suggesting that loading cached compose tables is the issue.

I have not investigated further.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a ~/.XCompose file with the following contents:
<Multi_key> <t> <e> <s> <t> : "A"
2. Start a gtk-3 application on wayland and type compose t e s t
  This should print “A”
3. Close the gtk-3 application
4. Start a gtk-3 application again and type compose t e s t
  This should print “st”

Fix loading cached compose tables

After reading the code for a bit, I think I found the issue: the cache loading code sets the number of sequences incorrectly, using the wrong variable…
