Description fujiwara 2022-09-20 13:44:15 UTC

Now GNOME Xorg sets GTK_IM_MODULE to "ibus" in some Asian locales using /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-xinput.sh but "gtk-im-context-simple" in other locales.

But previously GNOME Xorg sets GTK_IM_MODULE to "ibus" in all locales.

Probably a GNOME desktop module always can set the default GTK_IM_MODULE in GNOME Xorg.

To reproduce:
1. Log into GNOME Xorg in en_US.UTF-8 locale
2. Run `ibus im-module`
"gtk-im-context-simple" is output.

Expected result:
"ibus" is output.

Note: GTK_IM_MODULE="wayland" in GNOME Wayland by default now

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2022-09-29 03:27:49 UTC

This means in particular that if you try to add a first input method in gnome-control-center
you need to restart gnome in order for it to work properly, which is not a great experience
(unlike in Wayland where the input method just works immediately).

Strictly speaking this regression started actually in F36 (Gnome 42) I believe.
But we feel it is actually a potential blocker bug.

Though this is not resolved yet upstream.
