Bug#873486: fcitx does not start after upgrade to buster and the fix

[王钢林]

Hi, I'm very glad to hear about you finding a way to make the fcitx 
avilable again. But I don't know how to login with gnome-class session. 
Would you please tell me how to do it? Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Gulfstream
