Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2128423 +++
Now GNOME Xorg sets GTK_IM_MODULE to "ibus" in some Asian locales using
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-xinput.sh but "gtk-im-context-simple" in other
locales.
But previously GNOME Xorg sets GTK_IM_MODULE to "ibus" in all locales.
Probably a GNOME desktop module always can set the default GTK_IM_MODULE in
GNOME Xorg.
To reproduce:
1. Log into GNOME Xorg in en_US.UTF-8 locale
2. Run `ibus im-module`
"gtk-im-context-simple" is output.
Expected result:
"ibus" is output.
Note: GTK_IM_MODULE="wayland" in GNOME Wayland by default now

This means in particular that if you try to add a first input method in
gnome-control-center
you need to restart gnome in order for it to work properly, which is not a
great experience
(unlike in Wayland where the input method just works immediately).
Strictly speaking this regression started actually in F36 (Gnome 42) I believe.
But we feel it is actually a potential blocker bug.
Though this is not resolved yet upstream.
