The im-config command with its desktop file is there to allow expert

GTK frontend, we can drop it.  If needed, im-config menu selection
program can be executed in terminal with curses-like terminal UI.

Expert users? Nah.. Maybe then because it exposes quite some information. But using command line isn't less of an "expert" thing, right?

I didn't mean to imply that the .desktop file and/or the GUI should be dropped. There may be room for improvement, but that would mean work.

Until someone spend time to create meta data for Appstream with
proper guidance in it, "X-AppStream-Ignore=true" is the best thing to
do since this GUI program is not for most users.  I think.

Ok, thanks. I pushed that change:
