Re: im-config | Use im-config on Wayland without uninstalling IBus (!5)
Hello, Osamu
Thanks for telling the history and design.
A few bit-off-topic notes:

In practice only GNOME Wayland matters. Most other compositors
including KDE kwin don't implement IM support via Wayland protocols
(unless it changed in recent months) and apps still need *_IM_MODULES
settings. So other Wayland compositors can just use the same defaults
as X11, except "xim".
Another compositor supporting IM via Wayland is Weston (the only
compositor implementing standard "input-method" protocol AFAIK). But
Weston is the reference implementation so users do not likely run
im-config for their Weston session.

Agreed. Anyway current doc is X11 specific and needs updates.
