Hi Andrea,

If the LibreOffice crashes mentioned in bug #1761554 have been fixed, we
should indeed revisit this issue. Is that something you have confirmed
yourself? If so, adding back the fix which prevents the variable from
being set on Wayland would be motivated.

I think that the latest upstream im-config version (40-1) would take
care of this bug. OTOH, the delta between im-config 38-1 and 40-1 is not
trivial, and since we are late in the cycle, I feel it would be safer to
wait with that upgrade until after the release of Ubuntu 19.04.

As regards X11, g-s-d - unlike im-config - does not set GTK_IM_MODULE at
all, but the variable has been set for many cycles on Ubuntu including
the flavors.

Title:
  [disco] OSK does not appear under wayland when a text-entry is focused

Status in im-config package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. Login in a wayland session
  2. Open an application with a text entry (e.g. gedit)
  3. Focus gedit using the touch screen

  Expected result:
  The OSK appears

  Actual results:
  The OSK does not appear.

  This is caused by the fact that we still set GTK_IM_MODULE in Wayland.
  IIRC during the cosmic cycle we introduced a change to not set
  GTK_IM_MODULE under Wayland but we dropped it because there were users
  experiencing crashes when using libreoffice: upstream should have
  fixed those crashes to my knowledge.

  Also why are we setting GTK_IM_MODULE in X11 too? gnome-settings-
  daemon should be smart enough to load/unload that at run-time when
  required/not-required.
