Package: src:im-config Severity: wishlist Tags: patch This patch alters the way of launching input methods during Xsession startup, as stated in the patch description:
Traditionally im-swich and im-config start input method
framework in parallel with Xsession startup, this leaves
modern input method frameworks utilizing technologies
like dbus in an embrassing place, i.e. it's difficult to
obtain the dbus session address when the input method
framework is not initialized after dbus.
This patch alters the way of starting by introducing
im-launch, which is used to perform all necessary actions
during X session startup in a serial manner, ensuring all
needed facilities are ready before input method framework
gets launched.
Implementation detail here is to change the $STARTUP variable when
Xsession is sourcing files from /etc/X11/Xsession.d/, which is the way
that used by DBus. By running in this way we can ensure that input
methods are always started when the DBus session for the very X
session is available, so input methods can obtain the address and
connect to it reliably. It was almost a probability problems in the
traditional way and if the input method framework starts too quick it
will trigger DBus auto-launch, which leaves functions like IM Modules
not working properly.
The patch has been tested thoroughly to make sure its free from
undesired side effects, the only thing to be mentioned is that an
im-launch process will be left running for every X session, which is
necessarily what dbus-launch does.
