Description of problem: Currently when installing from a Live image, eg Fedora Workstation, it is not possible to use ibus input methods inside Anaconda somehow. I am not sure if this is deliberately disabled or not working for some other reason (I don't think we have ever enabled it yet). However this can be useful in some cases, when searching for native localized text etc inside anaconda, so it would be nice to support it. Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable an input method in Live image 2. try to input inside anaconda Actual results: ibus not working inside anaconda Expected results: Able to input native text with ibus IMEs. Additional info: Perhaps GTK_IM_MODULE is being override? Perhaps it could also be related to anaconda controlling/setting system keyboard layouts.
I think this is an ibus issue. Currently IBus runs /usr/libexec/ibus-dconf and anaconda don't wish to include Dconf. The original plan was to move IBus engines to switch DConf to GSettings in IBus 1.6. Now the default Japanese IME is changed to ibus-anthy and probably we can move forward to IBus 1.6 and disable ibus-dconf.
