Well, I tested the attached patch, but it didn't make a difference -
those two variables are still set to "ibus". What else can it be?

OTOH I could successfully type Mozc in gedit using fcitx. Can it be
because the GTK_IM_MODULE variable was set to fcitx (by im-config)
without being overridden by something else?

In any case, there seems to be more into it to make Ubuntu GNOME safely
ready for users who prefer other IM frameworks but ibus.

Title:
  Don't set ibus variables from gnome-session

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  New
Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently these variable settings are hardcoded in gnome-session:

  QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
  XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus

  That way the use of alternative IM frameworks, for instance fcitx, is
  prevented. gnome-session should drop those variable assignments, and
  rely on im-config instead.
