I can only repeat my position on this:
We need a single input method framework and we need to tighly integrate it with
keyboard layout configuration and the rest of the desktop. Tagging input method
support onto desktops 'from the side' and trying to make it both
'desktop-neutral' and 'im-framework-neutral' is always going to provide an
insufficient user experience.

Right. What changed in F11 is we stopped installing
im-cedilla by default and hence this bug report.
(I was probably partly to blame for that decision:
not that it was wrong in itself, just that we didn't provide
a saner substitute, since I don't think we were aware then
of its wide use for pt_BR.)
It seems clear now that im-cedilla was merely a hack
to workaround the lack of X compose support in gtk-im-context-simple,
which is provided through im-xim.so. Using im-xim.so
should give us consistent keyboard input for all locales
across X, GTK, and Qt applications which is a big usability plus
for users dependent on X compose for writing their language.
