Bug 2157582

Right. Because of missing xinit scripts running, plus, there are no toolkit specific configuration for Qt anymore - $HOME/.config/Trolltech.conf was available before. but it seems not working - imsettings stopped supporting Wayland. systemd environment file was required rebooting twice to apply. so that was too annoying.

If there are any better way to set it up, I'm willing to implement something in imsettings to support, but I have no idea to keep running imsettings on Wayland session so far.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard of the rebooting twice issue. For me, on KDE Wayland, creating ~/.config/environment.d/fcitx.conf with QT_IM_MODULE/GTK_IM_MODULE took effect immediately after a log out and log in. I didn't test on other Wayland desktops though.

I'm not sure if adding more desktop-specific code is a good idea, but I know KDE will source scripts in ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/*.sh on login for both X11 and Wayland.

So is there any way to get ibus IMEs working in Plasma? I am struggling
(I actually thought earlier it was working in F37)

Thanks. so if you put QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx into some file under $HOME/.config/plasma-workspace/env, logout and login, you can use fcitx on Plasma Wayland, right?

That may worth trying. imsettings already has several desktop specific backend support. so that wouldn't be a big deal in that sense.

if it works in plasma, I currently have it like this
#  ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/im.sh: for executing scripts at login before launching Plasma.
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export SDL_IM_MODULE=fcitx
# ~/.config/plasma-workspace/shutdown/: for executing scripts when Plasma exits.
..

with sytemd

# ~/.config/environment.d/im.conf

# systemctl --user set-environment VARIABLE=XXXXX  # only applies to the current session.
systemctl --user show-environment

Yep, I tested a few ways and these all work for me (after a single log out + log in):

1. Setting environment variables directly in ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/imsettings.sh

    export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx5
    export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx5
    export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx5

2. Loading imsettings' own scripts in ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/imsettings.sh. I also had to edit /usr/libexec/imsettings-functions so that is_{gtk,qt}_supported don't check for the systemd module in wayland.

    source /usr/libexec/imsettings-functions

    log_init
    setup_gtk_immodule
    setup_qt_immodule
    setup_xim

3. Setting systemd environment variables with systemd in ~/.config/environment.d/fcitx.conf

    XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx5
    GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx5
    QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx5

(I personally prefer 3 since it's (seemingly) more desktop-agnostic. If you'd be willing to go back to that approach, are there more details about the issues encountered with it? I'd be happy to help fix them.)

Dear developers.

I have also encountered this bug and added some comments in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2131673#c11.

Just for your reference.

Thanks

I added imsettings-plasma sub-package which contains xinput.sh shell script to set up env vars for Plasma Workspace. I didn't take a way to set env vars in $HOME/.config/plasma-workspace/env because this has a same issue to systemd and requires rebooting twice first time only, because they might be running before creating a shell script there.

Anyway, input methods should works on Plasma Workspace once you install imsettings-plasma from testing repo. please test.

Thanks, Akira. I removed my local workarounds, installed imsettings-plasma, and can confirm that the new /etc/xdg/plasma-workspace/env/xinput.sh symlink works.

I guess it would be good to update comps at least with imsettings-plasma.
Dunno if any KDE component should have a weak dependency on it?

I checked comps but didn't find any imsettings component found in comps except cinnamon-desktop and input-methods group. should we add imsettings-plasma to kde-desktop?

Not sure if this is the best way, but potentially something like this would work too?

    # In the main imsettings package
    Recommends: (imsettings-cinnamon if cinnamon-session)
    Recommends: (imsettings-gsettings if glib2)
    Recommends: (imsettings-lxde if lxde-settings-daemon)
    Recommends: (imsettings-mate if mate-settings-daemon)
    Recommends: (imsettings-plasma if plasma-workspace)
    Recommends: (imsettings-xfce if xfce4-settings)

This is how fcitx5, for example, pulls in its subpackages by default.
