+++ 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

--- Additional comment from Jens Petersen on 2022-09-29 03:27:49 UTC ---

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.

--- Comment #1 from fujiwara <tfujiwar(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
I think /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-xinput.sh also needs to be updated.
Currently the script sets GTK_IM_MODULE=gtk-im-context-simple in en_US.UTF-8
locale in GNOME Xorg.

Discussed during the 2022-10-03 blocker review meeting: [1]

The decision to punt the decision on the blocker status was made:

"We want more info on this bug before we vote (particularly regarding Xorg and
if it is default config anywhere), so we will punt for now."

--- Comment #11 from jackyzy823(a)gmail.com ---
Dear developers.

I'm using Fedora 36 (KDE spin) and fcitx5. Recently i upgraded imsettings from
imsettings-1.8.3-2.fc36 to imsettings-1.8.3-6.fc36.

This change makes imsettings not work properly under KDE/Wayland.

I run `imsettings-switch -f fcitx5` to setting im forcely and then restart.
However the behavior is that imsettings-daemon starts, the fcitx5 starts, but i
could not trigger input methods. The `XMODIFIERS` `GTK_IM_MODULE`
`QT_IM_MODULE` are still xim or gtk-im-context-simple:xim or @im=none in the
environment.

I found thess environments are set in
`~/.config/environment.d/imsettings*.conf`, I have to edit these configs
manually to fcitx5 (and then works). 

I have tested that remove `~/.config/environment.d/imsettings*.conf` these
files and restart will not work ( resulting `XMODIFIERS` `GTK_IM_MODULE`
`QT_IM_MODULE`  missing in environment).


The line in the patch
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/imsettings/blob/4534b0727bdf875ea02e8c...
`rm -f $XCONFIGDIR/environment.d/imsettings*.conf || :` seems not work too .
The reason i guess is that Wayland do not source the scripts under
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ so the `~/.config/environment.d/imsettings*.conf` not
removed and  `XMODIFIERS` `GTK_IM_MODULE` `QT_IM_MODULE` are not set.  Ref:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/Wayland/SessionStart   (saying: The wayland
session is not running a login shell and is not sourcing
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. )


So i hope that there's a better way to handle the drop of systemd backend.
Thanks.
