As Iain suggested on IRC https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2017/10/03/%23ubuntu-devel.html#t15:52
I checked out what the processes looked like for the two attempts at a solution, and attached a couple of files with my observations. Well, not sure what I should look for, to be honest, but that exercise inspired me to a possible solution: Since gdm3 always starts ibus-daemon anyway, I added a condition to /usr/share/im-config/data/21_ibus.rc so im-config does not start ibus-daemon if gdm3 is the DM. That seems to fix it. So I have uploaded yet another variant to the PPA. https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/im-config -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720250 Title: im-config configuration ignored with gdm3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1720250/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
