Actually it does not show up. At all.
But it is not an issue for CJK users, as the current implementation
of GNOME on-screen keyboard is useless for CJK languages anyway.
That's a misleading description of the effects.
Debian's GNOME is shipped with GNOME on Wayland by default, and both
ibus and im-config are there by default. With the current state of
im-config in the devel branch, the on screen keyboard (OSK) is
consequently broken by default for everyone.
We know that the GNOME developers have integrated IBus into the desktop
in such a way that GTK_IM_MODULE is supposed to *not* be set to "ibus",
at least not for Wayland sessions. The OSK is one known reason; there
may be more related issues, either already present ones or issues which
will show up going forward.
Letting im-config break the OSK for everyone is a bad idea. Please
reconsider. Otherwise, consulting with the GNOME team is an adequate
measure IMO before a final decision.
