After attempting a re-install with Japanese language defaults (to try to make sure that I understand the problem), I'd like to check some more details. If I'm on the wrong path, then I'll stop adding further comments for a while to let you all and others find a better solution.

This is true. However, these comments seem particularly relevant: On Thu, 2 Mar 2023 18:39:04 +0800, Shengjing wrote: > I'm not a Japanese user.

Based on those, it seems to me that part -- perhaps most -- of the problem is the 'task-japanese-gnome-desktop' entry[1] for bookworm is currently: ibus-mozc | ibus-anthy So I believe mozc is selected as the first dep-satisfying option during a fresh Debian bookworm plus GNOME install. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that. That conflicts with the default that 'gnome-initial-setup' configures, namely the 'anthy' input method -- explaining the patch that Yoshino-san provided. So: regardless of whether we choose 'mozc' or 'anthy', we should try to match the input method that we install by default with the input method that is configured by 'gnome-initial-setup'. (the idea to query the available input engines at selection-time is theoretically a much more robust approach.. but it could take longer for that to become available and be tested thoroughly, and as noted previously in the thread, the default install of GNOME desktop for Japanese language input is known broken today) Note: if everyone else understood all that already, and I'm only finally catching up with you all now, then my apologies for being slow. It didn't seem clear to me previously what the core of the problem here is. [1] - https://sources.debian.org/src/tasksel/3.71/debian/control/#L1462
