[Reporting this after a discussion with Jens over IRC]

Description of problem:
While investigating bug 505100 it was noticed that if one puts a simple "echo
none.conf >> /tmp/foo" into /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/none.conf and no Input
Method is in use it gets printed 5 times if ~/.xinputrc is a symbolic link to
/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/none.conf and 10 times if no ~/.xinputrc exist (i.e.,
the default). Is this intentional?

Also, GTK_IM_MODULE=xim setting does not seem to propagate into the user
environment in terminals while other settings like QT_IM_MODULE. Nevertheless
XIM seems to be in use even without it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora Rawhide as of 2009-11-03

It's not a bug. it's being read when imsettings-daemon:

 1. starts monitoring on /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d to provide the information
certainly if the request is being attempted before receiving any events from
the monitor.
 2. starts monitoring on /etc/X11/xinit/xinputrc.
 3. gets any events from the monitor on /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d
 4. gets any events from the monitor on /etc/X11/xinit/xinputrc
 5. reads the system default configuration.

It's also not a bug on the certain desktop like GNOME and XFCE. the IM
configuration will be sent to the GTK+ applications through XSETTINGS. no need
to set up GTK_IM_MODULE for them.
