Description Mike FABIAN 2023-09-06 06:36:56 UTC 
[mfabian@fedora ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/imsettings-switch
imsettings-1.8.4-1.fc39.x86_64
[mfabian@fedora ~]$ 

I am trying to enable ibus in XFCE using

imsettings-switch ibus

but it doesn’t seem to work.

It just prints this:

[mfabian@fedora ~]$ imsettings-switch ibus 
No actions required.
[mfabian@fedora ~]$ ps aux | grep ibus
mfabian     4402  0.0  0.0 222816  2432 pts/1    S+   15:28   0:00 grep --color=auto ibus
[mfabian@fedora ~]$ 

and ibus is not running.

The logfile contains:

[mfabian@fedora ~]$ cat .cache/imsettings/log

Comment 2 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2023-09-06 07:23:47 UTC 
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 39-beta by Fedora user tagoh using the blocker tracking app because:

 Input Method can't be configured properly on desktops except GNOME and KDE. this prevents user experience for Input.
