There is a bug here: - SetEnv takes a parameter of the form "VARIABLE=VALUE" - This is split on "=" to determine the two parts - If the VALUE has an "=" character in it, everything after the first "=" is lost, because all "=" characters are split and not the first one In this case, XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus was being turned into XMODIFIERS=@im. upstart should only split on the first "=", and keep the rest of the string unsplit. It doesn't look like nih_str_split is going to be very helpful here. [ Original 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). But I wanted to file the bug somewhere, so here it is.
