Description anish 2014-07-04 07:45:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
I am using Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-rawhide-20140702 with GNOME.3.13.3.
I can't use any input method in gtk applications but i could use input methods in terminal.
In terminal if i set export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus and then open gedit then i can use input method in it 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using g-c-c, choose Japanse kana kaji as input method
2. Open gedit and try to type characters asa SPACE 
3. 

Actual results:
User could see latin characters

Expected results:
User should see Japanese characters 

Additional info:
Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2014-07-04 07:48:27 UTC 
Reproduced here too.

ja_JP.utf8 desktop is okay but not en_US.utf8 locale.
Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2014-07-04 07:54:03 UTC 
But this also seems to happen on MATE so moving to ibus.

Transferring to imsettings.
Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2014-07-04 08:57:18 UTC 
After having run im-chooser to turn on ibus in Mate,
I seem no longer to reproduce in Gnome...

imsettings log file from another a/c where im-chooser has not been
run and can still reproduce problem under en_US.utf8

because imsettings manually sets GTK_IM_MODULE according to .xinputrc. the difference is whether it is ibus or gtk-im-context-simple.

Updates from the conversation on irc last week:
This happens because imsettings-gsettings sub-package is missing. so imsettings figured out/can't determine if the desktop has the gtk support.

I don't know why it didn't get pulled in. need to check that.

Apparently the kickstart file explicitly dropped imsettings-* packages.

Can you give the argument for having imsettings installed under GNOME?
Comment 9 Akira TAGOH 2014-07-07 10:44:27 UTC 
s/imsettings-*/imsettings*/

Given that they want to drop imsettings* packages completely, they need to add `-imsettings-qt' into the kickstart file as well to drop it too, because they explicitly add qt there and it pulls imsettings-qt in according to the comps.

% rpm -q --whatrequires imsettings
im-chooser-common-1.6.4-3.fc21.x86_64
% rpm -q --whatrequires im-chooser-common
im-chooser-1.6.4-3.fc21.x86_64
% rpm -q --whatrequires im-chooser
imsettings-qt-1.6.7-3.fc21.x86_64

Is it time to drop it completely maybe? dunno.

Anyway I don't have anything I can do in imsettings for this. reassigning to spin-kickstarts.
Comment 10 Jens Petersen 2014-07-09 06:35:44 UTC 
Okay I just committed a fix to fedora-workstation-packages.ks
which should hopefully fix this.

Discussed in 2014-08-20 Freeze Exception Review Meeting [1].

AcceptedFreezeException - Without proper input method support, many users would be unable to test Alpha.

Looks fine to me with Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21-20140820.iso

Let's close it, then. VERIFIED status doesn't mean much without bodhi.
