** Description changed: [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 + im-config -n fcitx * Relogin * Check the IM-related environment variables: - env | grep -E '_IM|XMOD' + 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.
