Thanks Gunnar, good find.

I wonder what this is telling us - you end up with multiple copies of
iBus running or something? Or the order matters and somehow the
basic.target one starts up early enough and the other one doesn't?

>From looking at that 21_ibus.rc script, it doesn't look like it's
crucial that im-config is the thing to actually execute iBus, right? If
that's the case, this is probably good. If it tests out, feel free to
upload.

Title:
  im-config configuration ignored with gdm3

Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in im-config package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After having logged in via gdm3, the IM related environment variables
  are always set like this:

  $ env | grep -E '_IM|XMOD'
  QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
  XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus

  Changing ~/.xinputrc to e.g. xim makes no difference, so gdm3 prevents
  all other IM frameworks but IBus from working.

  This problem seems to be similar to bug #1594681 (which was fixed).
