Description
I'm using the Chinese version of windows 10 , which uses the system's built-in pinyin input method. I use ./bin/winapps manual Notepad.exe to open notepad. I want to input some Chinese in Notepad, but I can't switch to the Chinese input method.
Technical details:
Host OS: Manjaro Linux with KDE plasma 5.27.8
Winapps: Latest git.
FreeRDP packages: freerdp 2:2.11.1-1
Arch: amd64.
Guest OS: Windows 10 PRO 22H2（Chinese Version）.
Input method on Linux: fcitx5-rime
Please let me know if you need any more information.
If there is some configuration I can do on my end to get this working properly, also please let me know.
Thank you and congratulations for this awesome project!

Reproduce the issue with ./bin/winapps manual Notepad.exe using the reported Manjaro, FreeRDP, fcitx5-rime, and Windows 10 setup. Start by tracing input handling from the ./bin/winapps entry point and FreeRDP configuration; done means switching to the Chinese input method and entering Chinese text in Notepad works.
