Control: tag 714914 + unreproducible

Hi,

This GNOME 3.8 does many funky thing overriding ENVIRONMENT etc.  I was
not surprised.  This is their design decision to override old fashioned
configuration under some condition. (I suspect if they see no IM
running, they start IM.)

With current design, im-config can not do much.

But read on to find out why unreproducible ... and how to address this
type of problems.

How to tame GNOME3 IM environment deserves attention and wishlist
feature request.

Basically 2 approaches:
 extend im-config to support some desktop file (or its follow-up) type 
 interface or other for GNOME3.  (short term solution)
 Let's discuss this at http://bugs.debian.org/654307

 replace im-config with im-chooser (FEDORA) like system which can dynamically 
set IM environment. (long term solution)
 Let's discuss this at http://bugs.debian.org/716898

As to this unreproducible bug, please check this problem again with the
newer gnome-shell.  It may be solved by now.  It is not reproducible
here.

$ set |grep IM_MODULE;set |grep XMODIFIERS
CLUTTER_IM_MODULE=xim
GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT4_IM_MODULE=ibus
XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus

So it has right values and im-config/ibus of this version is working.

If you agree my assessment, let's close this to keep BTS clean.

Osamu

PS: When I was playing with experimental and installed currently broken ibus
1.5.2-4 (experimental) with GNOME 3.8?, system failed to start ibus but started
fcitx.
