Okay, so — in short — the problem was that the command `/usr/lib/x86_64
-linux-gnu/libgtk-3-0/gtk-query-immodules-3.0 --update-cache` wasn't run
upon distro upgrade. Actually, I'm not sure if it's a distro bug or not,
because in my case the distro-upgrade came not quite fine. I was having
a PPA with latest GCC, which I didn't purge — that looks right, why
would I care if I'm using a binary distro anyway? However, after upgrade
Xorg didn't even start; long story short — libstdc++, for some reason,
didn't have some function which some apps were using. Reinstalling to
vanilla libstdc++ solved the problem. I did even see a bug about it
somewhere, but can't find it. But I can assume that some apps for distro
upgrade failed to run because of the library — as the bug with
$GTK_IM_MODULE not the only problem I encountered here. I'm seeing
things like missing tray icons, ignored preview options in Dolphin,
crashing vlc, and more.
