Could you please describe the problem in more details? Any error messages? Any
output to terminal?

I'm not sure whether forcing optional dependencies is a good idea: any of
these may happen to be an optional dependency elsewhere, so it may break
things. I believe I had some problems of the kind with xosd before, and ISpell

IMO it's generally wise to keep optional things up to users.

I'll look into it later.

I'm not particularly sure why I thought KHIM needed 8.4. Probably I had a
reason to think so.
