I am not sure that I understand you. I run this script during my
(console) login script (usually, ~/.bash_profile, as ". ./bin/im-start"):
------------------------------------------- cut
# get the desired config:
sans=""
IME=scim
echo -n "Use Scim / IBUS / fcitx (default: fcitx)? "
read imeans
case "$imeans" in
"scim")
IME=scim
;;
"ibus")
IME=ibus
;;
""|"fcitx")
IME=fcitx
;;
*)
echo "Can't configure - setting IME to None"
IME=x
;;
esac
if [ X"${IME}" = X"scim" ]; then
XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export XMODIFIERS
#GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
GTK_IM_MODULE="xim"
QT_IM_MODULE="xim"
export GTK_IM_MODULE
export QT_IM_MODULE
im-config -n scim
echo "Configuring scim"
elif [ X"${IME}" = X"ibus" ]; then
XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
export XMODIFIERS
GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
QT_IM_MODULE="ibus"
export GTK_IM_MODULE
export QT_IM_MODULE
im-config -n ibus
echo "Configuring ibus"
elif [ X"${IME}" = X"fcitx" ]; then
XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"
export XMODIFIERS
GTK_IM_MODULE="xim"
QT_IM_MODULE="xim"
export GTK_IM_MODULE
export QT_IM_MODULE
im-config -n fcitx
echo "Configuring fcitx"
else
echo "Unsupported input method, refuse to configure!"
fi
------------------------------------------- cut
After that, I run the appropriate daemon from my .xinit file before
starting up the window manager.
Therefore, every program should have the correct environment variables
set. I just verified that im-config is also not a running process, so
I currently do not understand how it could create havoc with my
environment.
Kind regards,
