Description Jens Petersen 2023-03-28 06:45:53 UTC
Description of problem:
It might be good to add some rich weak deps to pull in imsettings-* for certain desktop environments.

eg imsettings-plasma (maybe dependent on plasma-desktop?)
imsettings-cinnamon and imsettings-mate could be similarly handled perhaps.
imsettings-xfce.

On the other hand pre-installation seems preferable - so may need to think
if this really is useful/makes sense.

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2023-03-28 07:09:59 UTC
I tested current F38 Mate, Cinnamon, LXDE, and XFCE and using im-chooser and restarting ibus input works fine without their specific imsettings subpackage.

But Akira tells me that installing their specific imsettings subpackage might avoid having to restart the desktop in some cases.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2023-03-28 07:48:26 UTC
Anyway I opened https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/pull-request/822 for adding imsettings-plasma to @input-methods

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.
