Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I performed get-apt dist-upgrade by including testing repository.
Now my /etc/debian_version is
cat /etc/debian_version
bullseye/sid
Then I could no longer perform Japanese input using XIM protocol.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I found that mozilla thunderbird mailer and firefox browser did not
accept
Japanese input using XIM protocol at all (I used kinput2-wnn frontend).
gedit
also did not accept Japanese input either.
Meanwhile, other programs continued to receive Japanese input.:
tkremind, and a
few others.
So I suspect only gtk-3 linked programs suffered from the issue.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Gtk-3 linked programs failed to do accept Japanese input using XIM
protocol any
more (with kinput2-wnn forntend).
I could no longer trigger Japanese input mode by hitting control-Space
(as set
by my configuration.)
Other programs (non gtk-3 linked programs) continued to accept Japanese
input
using XIM protocol with kinput2-wnn frontend.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I should be able to input Japanese characters as I could before the "apt-get
dist-upgrade" using XIM protocol with kinput2-wnn as frontend.
To wit: im-xim.so was missing.
$mlocate im-xim.so

/usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-xim.so
The file marked with * above was missing after apt-get dist-upgrade.
I had to copy it back from im-xim.so.saved.
