Thank you in advance! ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1594681 Title: Don't override IM variables Status in gnome-session: Fix Released Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Fix Committed Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-session source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] Currently these variable settings are hardcoded in gnome-session and gnome-settings-daemon: QT_IM_MODULE=ibus XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus That way the use of alternative IM frameworks, for instance fcitx, is prevented. The variables should only be set if they are empty, so the values set by im-config are honored. [Test Case] * Install Ubuntu GNOME * Install both the gnome-session and gnome-settings-daemon proposed updates * Install fcitx * Set fcitx as the input method: im-config -n fcitx * Relogin * Check the IM-related environment variables: env | grep -E '_IM|XMOD' After the proposed uploads of gnome-session and gnome-settings-daemon, those variables are consistently (unlike before) set to "fcitx". [Regression Potential] Low. im-config sets "ibus" by default in Ubuntu GNOME anyway. This change prevents an inconsistent input method configuration for users who have actively chosen some other IM framework. The gnome-settings-daemon change was included upstream in 3.19.3 and the gnome-session change was included upstream in 3.21.90.
