Description forestbeasts@brightfur.net 2024-10-04 21:35:59 UTC 
imsettings's generated xinputrc (in ~/.config/imsettings/xinputrc) only sets $QT_IM_MODULE to fcitx5 if it finds QT5 fcitx stuff installed.

After an update, we only have the QT6 plugin, not the QT5 plugin, which makes it fall back to QT_IM_MODULE=xim.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use imsettings-switch to change to fcitx5.
2. Log out and log in.
Actual Results:  
Input method is still broken, QT_IM_MODULE is set to 'xim' instead of 'fcitx5'.

Expected Results:  
QT_IM_MODULE is set to fcitx5, just like GTK_IM_MODULE is.

It's probably a good idea to simply set QT_IM_MODULE unconditionally, like with GTK_IM_MODULE?

Here's the relevant lines from ~/.config/imsettings/xinputrc:
GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
if test -f /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/inputmethods/qtim-fcitx5.so || \
	test -f /usr/lib64/qt4/plugins/inputmethods/qtim-fcitx5.so || \
	test -f /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libfcitx5platforminputcontextplugin.so || \
	test -f /usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libfcitx5platforminputcontextplugin.so;
then
	QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
else
	QT_IM_MODULE=xim
fi
Comment 1 forestbeasts@brightfur.net 2024-10-04 21:41:30 UTC 
Huh, apparently this isn't generated by imsettings, it's a link to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/fcitx5.conf.

So maybe the bug is in some other component?

Ah, it looks like this is from the fcitx5 package. Makes sense that it would only set it if the Qt fcitx5 plugin is installed.
