Screenshot showing the error dialog box of im-chooser

Selecting "Settings -> Input Method Selector” form the XFCE menu shows a similar error dialog
The .config/imsettings/ directory is empty: [mfabian@fedora ~]$ ls .config/imsettings/ [mfabian@fedora ~]$ Now I manually created this link: [mfabian@fedora ~]$ ll .config/imsettings/xinputrc lrwxrwxrwx. 1 mfabian mfabian 33 Sep 6 03:28 .config/imsettings/xinputrc -> /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus.conf [mfabian@fedora ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus.conf XIM=ibus XIM_PROGRAM="/usr/bin/ibus-daemon" ICON="ibus" XIM_ARGS="-r --xim" PREFERENCE_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/ibus-setup SHORT_DESC="IBus" GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus NOT_RUN=gnome3 IMSETTINGS_IGNORE_SESSION=KDE-wayland if test -f /usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libibusplatforminputcontextplugin.so || \ test -f /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libibusplatforminputcontextplugin.so || \ test -f /usr/lib64/qt4/plugins/inputmethods/libqtim-ibus.so || \ test -f /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/inputmethods/libqtim-ibus.so; then QT_IM_MODULE=ibus else QT_IM_MODULE=xim fi [mfabian@fedora ~]$ Didn’t help, I still cannot use ibus in XFCE.

Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 39-beta by Fedora user tagoh using the blocker tracking app because: Input Method can't be configured on some dekstops properly due to this bug and this affects user experience about Input.
