I don't think it's a quoting issue (or issue with parsing the extra '=') in d-u-a-e, as when I run this manually it works:
$ export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus $ dbus-update-activation-environment --verbose --systemd XMODIFIERS dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus $ systemctl --user show-environment |grep XMODIF XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus But clearly in a freshly started desktop the value is just "@im". My buest guess is that something else also sets $XMODIFIERS later on, and overwrites the value from im-config.service? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to im-config in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1630090 Title: $XMODIFIERS not set correctly Status in im-config package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The XMODIFIERS environment variable is not set correctly. $ echo $XMODIFIERS @im $ The value should be - for ibus: "@im=ibus" - for fcitx: "@im=fcitx" - for xim: "@im=none" The issue is present in Ubuntu/Unity 16.10. I don't see it in Ubuntu GNOME, neither in Ubuntu 16.04. Actually I don't think the affected package is im-config, because the issue is present also after having downgraded im-config to 0.29-1ubuntu12 (the Xenial version).
