Bug description:
[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 fcitx
* Set fcitx as the input method:
im-config -n fcitx
* Relogin
* Check the IM-related environment variables:
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.
