I tested multiple IBus IMs, and AFAICT the issue is a pure ibus-mozc one. Consequently I now believe that a reasonable solution is to let the ibus-mozc package install an autostart file for launching Xwayland. That way users who don't use ibus-mozc won't be affected.
New proposal in this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/mozc If you agree, I'm ready to upload. Let me know. Also, can someone please make the bug description 'SRU compatible': https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template ** Also affects: mozc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) ** No longer affects: im-config (Ubuntu) ** No longer affects: mutter (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: mozc (Ubuntu Impish) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: mozc (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: mozc (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) ** Changed in: mozc (Ubuntu Impish) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: mozc (Ubuntu Impish) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: mozc (Ubuntu Impish) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to im-config in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1946969 Title: ibus-x11 does not start automatically Status in mozc package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in mozc source package in Impish: In Progress Bug description: ibus-x11 does not start automatically due to Xwayland on demand by default.
